Someone really should do these things *right* and put them in a port.

To see what's wrong with Duke's script, consider the following sequence:

$ rm My_Precious_File
<realize you weren't where you thought you were, so...>
$ cd old
$ rm My_Precious_File

And you can no longer recover the current version of
My_Precious_File. If you do this on Windows, you wind up with two
copies of My_Precious_File, and it's not obvious which is which.
