In normal GNU mv behaviour, moving a symlink to a file with target as file should fail which this one does currently, but vice versa must actually succeed. I have slightly changed the approach of mv so that when checking for same link, only the source path's symbolic link is resolved fully while target is taken as is which seems to fix some edge cases.

I am a bit unsure of how to handle this on Windows however.

You could handle it for Windows in the same way it is done for the are_hardlinks_to_same_file function: a dummy implementation for Windows and a real implementation for Unix.

GNU testsuite comparison:

Congrats! The gnu test tests/mv/into-self-2 is no longer failing!
