The "foo.hash.old" is the old folder which was renamed to make place for the 'foo' executable.
I don't think RDMD should have the power to move things around like that. It should fail compilation if the output name would overwrite the directory, with optionally providing a special switch for when you really need this behavior (I don't see the point of the feature though..).
