This is a feature.

That's not the way most people want it changed, you know.  Who
wants all those ugly capitals anyway?  

On the other hand, the poster was looking to changing to capitols.  
He might try:

    mv * /usa/washington-dc/

or some similar incantation.

Sheesh, doesn't anyone read the Frequently Asked Questions list
anymore???  There are also a bunch of big, ugly, grody C hacks in
alt.sources on this right now, plus a small, elegant, generic perl
solution as well. :-)

Look around.
