[Paul Eggert]

branch: emacs-26
commit 2f4bd2fbdaccbaa61fe9b5adb56ba9e8f3d49505
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    Let rename-file rename dirs across filesystems
    
    Problem diagnosed by Andreas Schwab (Bug#28792#65).
    This fixes a bug that I introduced in
    2017-09-10T22:39:address@hidden@cs.ucla.edu
    "Fix race with rename-file etc. with dir NEWNAME".
    * src/fileio.c (Frename_file): Copy a source directory across
    file system boundaries even if its name does not end in slash.
