bug#6138: mv while maintaining relative symbolic links |

I'm wondering if there is any tool that can do almost exact the same
thing as mv, but it can maintain symbolic links.
mv doens't maintain relative symbolic links. For example, I have file
/tmp/A/file1.txt and a symbolic link /tmp/file1.txt that point to
A/file.txt (by the relative path). If I mv /tmp/A to /tmp/B, the link
/tmp/file1.txt will be broken.
Another example: I have file /tmp/file1.txt and symbolic link
/tmp/A/file1.txt that points to ../file1.txt (by relative path). If I
move /tmp/A to /tmp/B/A, the symbolic /tmp/A/file1.txt will be broken.
Could you please let me know if there is a tool that can maintain the
symbolic links?
