How recover file lost when Thunar crashed during cut-and-paste?

[Erik Dobák]

glib/gio g_file_move uses the native move unless it cant be used
according to this:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/gstreamer-sdk/data/docs/2012.5/gio/GFile.html

but there is also a fallback with g_file_copy followed by
g_file_delete. when looking at g_file_copy i have found that there is
some code for using BTFRS clone. so it also could be a BTFRS bug.
