Description of problem:
I tried to rename a file in a folder to a name for which another file already existed in that folder.

This is what nautilus responded with (see attached picture).

I believe this isn't correct or desired behaviour. I think Nautilus should ask me if I want to overwrite the existing file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to rename a file to a name for which a file already exists in that folder
2.
3.

Actual results:
You get a message saying you should choose another name.

Expected results:
You get a prompt asking if you'd like to replace the file.
