Copying or renaming files fails when attempting to merge directories. Consider the following: 1. Start emacs via emacs -Q 2. Navigate with dired to some safe, user-writable directory, such as your home directory. 3. Create two directories called testA and testB, with dired-create-directory for instance. 4. Inside ~/testA create another subdirectory called foo. 5. Create a file ~/testA/foo/bar and enter some example text. 6. In a dired buffer visiting ~/testA, mark the foo directory. 7. Copy the directory to the other directory, via dired-do-copy. This should prompt for a destination, ~/testA/ by default, so press backspace twice and complete the destination to ~/testB/ and press enter. 8. Now modify the file ~/testB/foo/bar and save it. (This step is actually optional as the outcome won't change either way.) 9. Switch back to the dired buffer visiting ~/testA/ and attempt to copy the foo directory to ~/testB/ again as in step 7. 10. You will be prompted to overwrite, press y or ! here to do so. Now you should be prompted to copy recursively, so type in yes and press enter. 11. The command fails with the error: Copy: '/home/clock/testA/foo' to '/home/clock/testB/' failed: (file-already-exists File exists /home/clock/testB/foo) My expectation here is that dired would recurse into the foo directory, and in the case that you have pressed y, it should ask if you would like to overwrite the file bar, and if you have pressed !, you shouldn't be prompted and the file should be overwritten. Furthermore, if the contents of ~/testA/foo differ further, with more subdirectories and files, those files should all be copied over as with the behavior of cp -r in bash. If you perform these same steps up to step 9, but in step 9 you use dired-do-rename, the resulting error changes to this: Move: '/home/clock/testA/foo' to '/home/clock/testB/foo' failed: (file-error Renaming Directory not empty /home/clock/testA/foo /home/clock/testB/foo) In GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 2, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.34, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-09-13 built on a-fsn-de Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.12101004 System Description: Void Linux Configured using: 'configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-xwidgets --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/usr/bin --bindir=/usr/bin --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu '--libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib64' --with-file-notification=inotify --with-modules --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif --with-png --with-xpm --with-rsvg --without-imagemagick --with-xml2 --with-gnutls --with-sound --with-m17n-flt --with-json --with-harfbuzz --with-cairo --with-libgmp --with-native-compilation 'CFLAGS=-fno-PIE -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -g -fdebug-prefix-map=/builddir/emacs-28.2=.'
