I don't really think there's anything reasonable Emacs can do (by itself) in these cases -- what should happen here depends on each individual case (the tree is totally gone; it's moved somewhere else; etc), so that has to be left to the user, like Tomas says: > Using Emacs in this case I would do C-x C-w and then navigate to the > existing directory, then one with the new name tmp2.
