Consider that this only triggers if "foo" doesn't exist yet. In such a
case, filename completion won't suggest anything, especially no trailing
/. So it doesn't feel very likely that someone wants to rename a file
or directory ~/bar to "foo" and then specifies ~/foo/ (with trailing
slash) as the target by accident.
