The only two ways I can think of enabling such a feature would be staging a removal and then committing it later (when would that be?) or using a file system with less aggressive garbage collection. WRT directory renames, the shell would need to track file system state entirely, unless the file system on the host has some sort of name-independent ID. This sounds like a feature that would fit well in a next-gen operating system, P9 style, where the shell is tightly integrated with the entire functioning of the system. -- Roman Hargrave <ro...@hargrave.info> http://hargrave.info __________________________________ < Programming is an unnatural act. > ---------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
