GNU  mv  has had a   -t Target_Dir   flag for a long time.

I still avoid using it in scripts so I don't get any nasty surprises when I 
run my script on a non GNU platform, but these days happily use it on the 
command line.

Once I went to the trouble of making  mv-t
-------------------------- cut -----------------------
#!/bin/sh

tgt="$1"
/bin/mv "$@" "$1"
-------------------------- cut -----------------------


But generally just settle for using  xargs  -I  and having 'mv' invoked per 
file.
