Research direction
Start by reviewing the behavior of the mv and cp commands, especially cp -a, and then read the referenced issues (#9656, #9635, #9458, #9346, #8586, #6004, #9671, and #9771). Determine which cross-device handling can be shared without changing command behavior. Done means the duplicate handling is consolidated and the referenced bugs are covered.
