[issue1577] shutil.move() does not use os.rename() if dst is a directory

[Sean Reifschneider]

Sean Reifschneider <jafo at tummy.com> added the comment:

After reviewing the discussion I'm going to accept this because:

Guido seemed to me to say "figure it out among yourselves".

We're talking about shutil, so mimicing the shell move (mv) semantics is
not entirely unreasonable.

The current semantics are the same as what this patch implements, this
just optimizes it from a copy to a rename if possible.

Committed into trunk as rev61527.
