Since apparently that hasn't happened yet, let me add that the same
thing is not limited to files, but happens with a directory as well:
mkdir foo bar
touch bar/baz
touch bar.exe
mv bar foo
find foo
Once again, the right 'bar' is chosen by 'mv' but the .exe is
erroneously appended due to the presence of bar.exe.
