Suppress prompt to delete unlisted buffers when moving a file

[ghost]

If you try to (m)ove a file that's open in an unlisted buffer, you see the usual prompt asking if you want to delete the buffer. If you answer 'y', you'll get an error like the following:

This doesn't happen when you (d)elete a file that's open in an unlisted buffer because the equivalent check in NERDTreeDeleteNode ignores unlisted buffers (so you never see the prompt asking if you want to delete the buffer).

I've 'fixed' this by making NERDTreeMoveNode behave like NERDTreeDeleteNode

What is the status of this issue? I get this error almost every other time I move a file; will these changes be merged upstream, or is another solution en route? Ideally, moving a file should just rename any open buffers instead of closing them (e.g. changing application.css to application.css.sass should leave the buffer open, but relinked to the new name.)
