This is kind of what I want to achieve Linux: > cd /some/directory > cp -rf sub_directory /tmp/ Make some changes inside sub_directory - and then copy to /tmp again > cp -rf sub_directory /tmp/ Emacs: M-x find-file RET /some/directory RET Move cursor to sub_directory 'C' and then /tmp/ RET Will work in case /tmp/sub_directory doesn't exist. Then press 'C' again and /tmp/ RET Will now fail. Fails in emacs 27 as well. Haven't tried emacs 25 - but works in 24.5
