If I then do this:The behavior you saw is what I would have expected. There is nothing in the
Move-Item -Path C:\New.Directory C:\temp\ImNotHere\
files contained in New.Directory are now in ImNotHere, and there is no
longer a New.Directory folder.
This looks like a bug to me, since the effect for non-existing and
pre-existing paths is radically different.
command that tells move-item that the second arg is supposed to be a dir
instead of a new filename sans extension. I use move or mv to rename files
all the time. :-)
