After combining sets of files on two computers, to my horror I found out that
I'd done it incorrectly.  What I now have is:


/home/greg/files/author1/bookone/  (with chapters as files)
/home/greg/files/files/author1/booktwo/  (with chapters as files)

several times over

Now, I want to merge it all.  I am afraid that if I go to the
/home/greg/files/files/author1/booktwo directory and simply MOVE it with
Overwrite to the /home/greg/files/ directory, I will delete
/home/greg/files/author1/bookone.

Am afraid that I have to go to every  /home/greg/files/authorx/booky, and move
each bookx file to /home/greg/files/authorx.   That would be soul-crushing
tedium.

Do I have anything to fear?
