This is also an issue in Ibex; I know there are related bugs but this
one is labeled especifically SSHFS.

The problem is as explained above that on sshfs you cannot rename a file
"A.txt" to "A.txt~" if "A.txt~" already exists. Even if the target
filesystem can.

To me this is not gedit specific - all similar operations give the same
error:

a...@arno-laptop:~/jobbpc/var/www/dir$ mv stats.php stats.php~
mv: cannot move `stats.php' to `stats.php~': Operation not permitted

...while it works just fine if you mount with the rename workaround option to 
sshfs, like  mszeredi says above:

What worries me is that sshfs isn't able to do this kind of renaming
even when the target filesystem is ext3. On my system it's all linux,
and I mount the remote ext3 system on a local ext3 tree via sshfs. OK
maybe the tree isnt ext3 but the filesystems are. Then from a user
standpoint I was puzzled that I couldn't do normal ext3 operations.
Until I found this bug :)
