Looks OK, from a quick review.

Not really. The copied+moved child node will still have copyfrom
information linking it to the source of the copy. That doesn't trivially
tell us how the node came to be at the new location, but there are other
cases where that's not tracked (e.g., sequential local renames followed
by a commit; only the result will be tracked, not the intermediate
(wc-local) states).
