[RFC] race-free-rename ?

[Robert Collins]

So, for packs, I'd like a rename() which is guaranteed race-free. That
is, it should fail if it cannot atomically rename the source to the
destination (e.g. if the destination already exists and the fs does not
support rename-over-the-top).

thoughts? comments on how to expose it?
