The options the interactive conflict editor displays don't reflect the
actual state if you look at it in this way.

At the time we are resolving the BASE nodes at the original location have
been updated to the target revision, but the place that the code has been
moved to is still at the old revision.

Doing nothing keeps you in a state where the move is broken... And choosing
mark as resolved will remove the move information that makes a move a proper
copy (of the old version)+delete

The other option is updating the move target, to make it match the new
moved-from revision.
