Re: NTFS-like streams?

# Great. So mv foo* ../barf will do what?

Exactly as it does now. "foo*" won't match the streams, because they don't
have directory entries in foo's parent directory. Consider:

foo-1
foo-2
foo-3

And the following streams exist:

foo-1:bar
foo-2:zap
foo-2:bob

"foo*" will still be matched to "foo-1" "foo-2" "foo-3", just as it is
now. Moving/renaming "foo-1" also moves/renames "foo-1:bar".
