Isn't that exactly the problem? If both old_name and new_name exist,
how do I rename old_name into new_name so that it overwrites new_name
instead of becoming its subdirectory? I must carefully type new_name
RET so as to avoid having a slash at its end.
I would support such a change only if it had an explicit defcustom to
control it. (It could be a new value of
dired-create-destination-dirs, if that makes sense.)
