Easily change a filename while the file is being edited
Authored by: mkhaw on Mar 13, '09 01:52:41PM

However, if you move the file in Finder while it's open for editing (at least in TextEdit on Tiger), the next time you save or quit, you'll get the open version saved in its old location. (Although it makes sense when I think about it, I've tripped myself up a few times that way. I don't recall what the interaction is between a file open for editing in vi/emacs and "mv"ing the file within the same filesystem.)
