I assume that at first you do "cd Dir1". After that this command will
move any file from Dir1 to Dir2 unless the file already exists in
Dir2. In that case it asks whether you want to move or not. I am not
sure how that is supposed to help with either synchronizing two
folders or comparing folder so that they are in sync. Maybe that can
be clarified.
