Describe the bug

When attempting to move or rename a local directory that has been previously synchronized to a Space using the owncloudcmd command, the synchronization process fails to properly update the remote Space.

Expected behavior

owncloudcmd should detect that the local directory has been renamed or moved and update the corresponding folder in the Space accordingly. The synchronization should complete successfully without creating duplicates or leaving orphaned entries on the server.

Steps to reproduce the issue
  1. Synchronize a local directory to a folder in a Space using the command:
    owncloudcmd --non-interactive -u USER -p TOKEN --server https://ocis.owncloud.com /PATH/LOCAL 'https://WebDav_URL_SPACE' REMOTE_FOLDER_IN_SPACE
  2. Rename a local directory
  3. Retry the synchronization

Research direction

Reproduce the rename scenario with the documented owncloudcmd command and inspect the PropagateIgnoreJob failure showing a 409 Conflict during MOVE. Compare the local rename with the remote Space state and retry behavior; done means the renamed directory synchronizes successfully without duplicate or orphaned entries.
