OK forgive me for being obtuse about this, but I'm trying to understand the background on this limitation, and I've yet to turn up anything super clear. From what I can gather, Go relies on the MoveFile API in general; for
syscall.Rename()
, it callsMoveFile()
, which I guess should be capable of handling dir renames.os.Rename
, otoh, also ultimately uses the MoveFile API to do its work - which means it should also be capable of dir renames? The only difference is that it usesMoveFileEx()
, with theMOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING
flag (I believe that's maybe new as of Go 1.6?), which makes behavior generally more similar to POSIX systems than a pureMoveFile()
call.So yeah, I'm confused on this, and pointers to some explanation of the limitation here would be super appreciated.

this is from the go 1.8 release notes:
https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.8 so it will fail on unix in go 1.8 as well

Right, but that doesn't say it fails when attempting to rename a directory, period - just that it fails if attempting to rename a directory to an existing empty directory. At this point, we haven't established yet whether the target dir exists, or (if it does) whether it's empty.
