But if you create a folder and then create 
subfolders inside, then the folder list will show the expand/collapse
button. The rename of the parent folder will be even more problematic.

E.g. if folder 'a' has subfolder 'b' and I try renaming 'a' to 'c', I
get:

Error  Renaming "a/b" to "a/b" failed. This is what the server said:
Error  Renaming "a/" to "a/" failed. This is what the server said:
Error  Renaming "a" to "a" failed. This is what the server said:

Notice that the new name does not contain 'c'.
