I wonder if it would be possible to make a little table
dest

Src file empty-dir non-empty-dir
---- -----------------------------------------
file | | |
dir
with the behavior for each combination indicated, 'success' or 'OSError', with two lines prefixed with Unix, Win where they differ. Then the differences would be much more obvious.
(A separate issue: Patch says that Windows currently raises a different error in one situation. I think it would be better -- in a future version -- if that were caught and reraised as OSError also.) |
