#cpmv

Moving directories in the same filesystem does not copy data. It just changes a pointer. Sometimes this is not desirable. You may need to copy data first and then delete destination, but by using 'cp & rm -rf' you double temporarily free space requirements. cpmv performs that by operating on a per file basis, instead of copying the whole structure in advance. This is useful for btrfs/zfs when you change mount options (for example compress in btrfs) or move data across filesystems on the same tank (zfs)

requirements: bash version 4 or higher, stat

usage: cpmv source_directory target_directory

target directory must not exist! Permissions & modification times are preserved for directories & files.
