Everybody wants this too. Almost everyone agrees that we'd like a
"true" move operation, both in the repository and in the working-copy.
But it's a big task to implement it, quite complicated. There have
been many discussions about how to do it, and people will definitely
do it someday. I just don't expect it to happen for 1.0. Most people
are willing to live with "mv == cp + rm" for now.
I'm not sure if we have this filed already as a post-1.0 feature, I'd
have to check. But if you search the mail archives, you should be
able to find threads about exactly how people might implement this
someday. (Does anyone have mail-archive pointers?)

No, no trouble at all. I just wish it were easier to point you to
previous discussions. :-)
