I don't beleive that mv has that capability. It might be easier to move everything
[code]mv * /dest/directory[code]
and then move your exception back
[code]mv /dest/directory/*.sav /orig/dir[code]
mv doesn't modify the last modified date.

icmstart.rc
icmstart.rc(7) icmstart resource file icmstart.rc(7)
NAME
icmstart.rc - The icmstart(1) resource file
DESCRIPTION
The icmstart.rc file defines the initial files of a program that are installed by icmstart(1).
By default icmstart.rc is found in /etc/icmake/icmstart.rc, but if a file $HOME/.icmake/icmstart.rc is found then the latter file is used
by icmstart(1). $HOME/.icmake/icmstart.rc in turn is overruled by specifying a -c option when invoking icmstart(1).
The default resource file contains the following specifications, preparing for the construction of a C++ program using icmbuild(1):
CLASSES
P main.cc
P main.ih
P usage.cc
P version.cc
P ? scanner
P ? parser
The icmstart.rc file may contain:
o empty lines, which are ignored;
o lines beginning with a hash-character (#), also ignored;
o Optionally: a P (don't install with icmstart xxx library) or an L (don't install with icmstart xxx program), followed by a blank;
see also icmstart(1).
o Optionall: a ? (followed by a blank) following the optional P or L in which case the installation of the element must be confirmed
by the user.
o Source path names. Relative path names are interpreted relative to the current working directory. Environment variables are not
expanded, the initial tilde character is interpreset as the user's home directory.
o Source path names followed by a destination (relative to the directory initialized by icmstart(1)). A source path may be either a
file or a directory. If a directory is specified then all files in and below that directory will be installed.
When specifying a destination a path may be specified as well. However, the destination path is always interpreted relative to the instal-
lation directory specified when calling icmstart(1).
If a destination is omitted, the source is installed as specified below icmstart(1)'s destination directory.
EXAMPLES
The following entries can be used in an icmstart.rc file:
o source
`Source' must be in the skeleton directory visited by icmstart(1) and is installed as source in the destination directory specified
when calling icmstart(1).
o source dest
`Source' must be in the skeleton directory visited by icmstart(1) and is installed as dest in the destination directory specified
when calling icmstart(1).
o ~/path
`~/path' is installed as ~/path in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). The ~-character is expanded to the
user's home directory.
o ~/path dest
`~/path' is installed as dest in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). The ~-characteris expanded to the
user's home directory.
o /path
`/path' is installed as ./path in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1).
o /path dest
`/path' is installed as dest in the destination directory
o ? source
The user must confirm the installation of source.
o ? source dest
The user must confirm the installation of source as dest in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1).
o # text
Interpreted as comment and ignored. The #-character must be the first character on the line.
o an empty line
Empty lines are skipped.
FILES
The mentioned paths are sugestive only and may be installation dependent:
o /usr/share/icmake/icmconf Example of an icmbuild configuration file;
o /usr/share/icmake/CLASSES Example of an icmbuild CLASSES file.
o /usr/share/icmake/icmstart.rc Default skeleton resource file.
