Original file disappear when executing a wrong move operation on a file in identical bucket

Expected Behavior

• the file file1.txt should be found after this wrong move, or give an error as in linux : mv file1.txt . => answer :
  mv: 'file1.txt' and './file1.txt' identify the same file, or give a solution to recover the file.

Current Behavior

• A wrong operation ( but not possible in a linux terminal ) delete a file

Possible Solution

• The reason seems to be that minio is doing a copy and a delete action

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

• echo 'file1' > file1.txt
• mc cp file1.txt minio1/bucket1
• mc ls minio1/bucket1/file1.txt => answer : [[2025-03-23 21:38:09 CET] 6B STANDARD file1.txt
• mc mv minio1/bucket1 minio1/bucket1
• mc ls -r minio1 => answer : none
• trying to revert action
  • mc undo minio1/bucket1/file1.txt => answer : mc: Undo command works only with S3 versioned-enabled buckets.

Context

• I was trying mc commands, and after a wrong command, i found this issue

Regression
