They probably work even more differently than you think; try doing
"tla move foo bar/" and see what happens. To do what you most likely
intended there you'd have to do: "tla move foo bar/foo". Caused me some
interesting headaches as an Arch newbie that. :)

Sounds like good suggestions to me. However, I'd suggest just removing
"mv-id" (currently "move") altogether. It's broken, IMHO.
