------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
I was originally going to make this functionality an option to "tla move-tag",
but Tom suggested creating a new "tla mv" command instead. Now I kinda agreee
with Miles; if "tla mv" and "tla move" do (very!) different things, people will
get quite confused.
On the other hand, maybe "move" could be dropped entirely? For moving files
(and their tags, if such exist), use "tla mv" and for moving just tags use "tla
move-tag". To my eyes, they're much less confusable.

Summary: 'tla move' doesn't behave like 'mv'
Original Submission:
mv has convenient, well-defined, and familiar semantics wrt file and directory
arguments.
tla move isn't nearly as convenient to use, and can fail silently, causing
later problems when 'mv' semantics are attempted with it.

Please don't add a new `tla mv' command; please instead call the new command
`tla move', and make `mv' an alias of `move'. It's a complete disaster to have
`move' and `mv' do _different_ things.
The old `move-tag' command can remain without any aliases to provide the old
functionality.

"tla mv" is implemented in address@hidden/tla--devo--1.1, and should have the
same semantics as mv(1). It includes a small set of tests to confirm this.
patch-13 - initial "tla mv foo bar" command
patch-14 - basic tests for "tla mv"
patch-15 - fix bug in "tla mv" and add test
patch-16 - tidy up cmd-mv.c
