Can I make rsync to move large amount of files instead of copying them when on local filesystem? I would like it to behave like improved mv command. I know about --remove-source-files option but manual does not say anything whether it actually moves files (desired) or just copies and then delete (not desired). EditWhat I want to achieve is that rsync (improved mv) moved files into directories merging existing directories -- same as rsync -r but moving not copying e.g.$ tree d1 d2d1 b c d deep_house    dh1 sound     sssd2 a deep_house     dddx3 directories, 7 files$ rsync -r d1/ d2$ tree d2d2 a b c d deep_house  dddx  dh1 sound     sss
Make rsync move (not copy) files on local file system
