It still happens the very same way. The only thing this patch is
concerned with is that if bar (specified as bar/) does not exist yet, it
will be created as directory before doing the operation (i.e., the
rename or copy).
So basically we have those Rename/Copy semantics:
file -> 2.txt (renames plain file no matter if 2.txt already exists)
file -> foo (move into foo if that's an existing dir, otherwise rename)
file -> foo/ (move into directory foo, creating if not existing
and dired-create-destination-dirs is non-nil)
The first 2 are unchanged, the third one is the new one.

The above. :-)
And Rudi, please correct me if I'm wrong. But I think I've tested quite
thoroughly.
Bye,
