It's easy to drop the "from_root" parameter and
currently, it has to refer to the base revision.
However, it might be simpler to allow for the
commit editor to simply specify any old revision
as the source and let the server check whether
it is "out of date" (path moved or deleted since
the specified revision).

Yes, that's still a TODO.

There will be a format bump this week when
the log-addressing branch gets merged.
Yes, I think we should make move() support
contingent on the repo format. The backward
compat. variant would be the same as for BDB,
i.e. storing a simple ADD-with-history.
