move / moveFile API

[andrewrk]

this module should also have move / moveFile API

[jprichardson]

This won't be hard to do, I can put this in the next release.

[andrewrk]

Sweet!

Ideally it would try fs.rename first, because that's blazingly fast, but that doesn't work if you're trying to move a file across filesystem boundaries. So you would have to catch that error and then do the input stream / output stream piping technique.

Can I make you a pull request?

[jprichardson]

Ya, sure, that would be helpful. Just don't bump the version number.

[andrewrk]

Just a heads up, I decided not to make a pull request to node-fs-extra because I decided that I'm going to simply require rimraf, ncp, mkdirp, etc directly when I need them.

Here's an implementation of moveFile though if you want it: https://github.com/superjoe30/node-mv

[jprichardson]

Fair enough. Thanks for the heads up.

[jprichardson]

Done in 0.9.0. https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/releases/tag/0.9.0 Copied the code over. Would have just included the module, but I didn't want to have two different versions for each ncp, rimraf, and mkdirp.

Thanks for your work on this.
