i always run mv -i to make sure i don't accidentally overwrite an existing file.

i don't alias mv to mv -i either, to avoid getting used to the idea that just mv is going to ask me, because i might work on a server where the alias is not set.

I double check the filenames instead, because many of the tools I work with don't have -i flags.
