I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/729747 to suggest that
this behaviour should be moved into an --auto option for consistency and
to add a --dry-run option.

I don't know how 'bzr mv --auto' matches the files up. Badly, it would seem.

Sounds like automv is a better choice here until 'bzr mv --auto' can be
improved.
