I'm passing this to the discussion as what should be done in this
situation:
case 1
C-x C-f ~/tmp/test.txt
C-x d ~/tmp => rename "R" test.txt to test2.txt
=> New filename is reflected in Emacs buffer visiting the file
But, if file is moved to another directory:
case 2
C-x C-f ~/tmp/test.txt
C-x d ~/tmp => rename "R" test.txt to ~/tmp/moved/test2.txt
=> New filename is NOT reflected in buffer vising the file
I would have expected that the file path location change would have been
chaned as in case 1. I could imagine that:
a) the change in case 2 is identicval as in case 1, so change in
buffer-file-name is done transparently
b) Dired includes a confirmation option that asks, if the current
buffer visiting the file should reflect the new location.
That do you think?
