The shell might not read this all the while so the name you see
may not change until you change directory.

This should not happen and it doesn't happen in kernel version 2.4.0-test0

# pwd
/tmp
# mkdir old
# cd old
# pwd
/tmp/old
# mv ../old ../new
# pwd
/tmp/old The shell hasn't re-read the current directory
# ls
# >foo Make a file called foo
# ls
foo It's there okay
# rm foo Remove the file
# mkdir bar Make a directory
# ls
bar It's there
# cd bar
# pwd
/tmp/new/bar Now, the shell re-read the directory, it is correct
# cd ..
# pwd
/tmp/new Back where we were, shell reads correct directory.
# cd ..
# ls
new typescript
# rm -r new
# exit
exit
