Overview

PURPOSE: this strategy is atomic, and attempts to preserve file modes

NOTE: there is no preserve flag to FileUtils.mv, and we want to preserve the dst file

modes rather than the src file modes (preserve = true is what mv does already, we
would like preserve = false which is tricky).

  # in the case where i'm running chef-solo on my homedir as myself and some root-shell
  # work has caused dotfiles of mine to change to root-owned, i'm fine with this not being
  # exceptional, and i think most use cases will consider this to not be exceptional, and
  # the right thing is to fix the ownership of the file to the user running the command
  # (which requires write perms to the directory, or mv will throw an exception)
