Details:

situation:
foo/name/file exists.
bar/name/ exists.
both on the same partition.
you're in "foo/", cursor over "name".
press <f6>, enter "../bar", confirm.
effect: file is moved by copying. this is because mc incorrectly diagnoses a
cross-device move.
the code in question is file.c, move_file_file() & move_dir_dir().
when fixing, please consider the case of moving a tree where only a subtree is
on another device. but maybe it was already considered. :)
