From 5c3bbffbb0e53c5f1e68a7cc6befda4ff24453f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 16:44:47 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] rename.2: Minor wording fix The meaning of "when overwriting" is not clear. I believe what is meant is that when an existing 'newpath' is replaced. However, we can convey that meaning by eliding this text with the preceding paragraph, so this patch does that.
