That won't remove the files from the source.  I could do

       cp -R  <source> <target> && rm -rf <source>

but that will fail because some of the files already exist, so the rm
part of the command will not execute.  So I could just run rm -rf
<source> but that seems rather dangerous to me.

I've got a script that I've been working on.  I've attached it here
(not sure if the list allows attachments, guess I'll find out).

Comments welcome.
