Feature Request: 'bzr mv --after' to tell bzr that file(s) have already been moved in the working tree

[Hanns-Steffen Eichenberg]

An automatic detection of moved files would be great, but i think you have
to have an explicit option in addition. Why? When refactoring Java Code
(rename a class, for example), the name of the file AND the file content
changes simultaneously. It is an atomic operation from within Eclipse (and
all other major Java IDEs). How can this be later detected by an algorithm?

Ciao,
