Using commands like cp and mv, use of the trailing slash in the
destination acts as a bit of a safety net, since it forces the final
path component to be interpreted as a directory. Compare mv myfile
/some/path to mv myfile /some/path/ -- if /some/path does not exist,
the first version will create a file, while the second version will
fail with an error. If /some/path exists but is a file, the first
version will replace it, while the second version will again fail with
an error. – larsks Jun 12 at 19:02
