Hi,

>From the "man 1 mv":
=== cut here ===
...
mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
...
The destination path for each operand is the pathname produced by the
concatenation of the last operand, a slash, and the final pathname 
component of the named file.
...
=== and here ===

so, i think both situations are all right.
