If we're changing the format, I suggest having the output be useful as 
input to the shell, like this:

$ src/mv -v /tmp/mv-test .
mkdir './mv-test'
cp '/tmp/mv-test/file' './mv-test/file'
rm '/tmp/mv-test/file'
rmdir '/tmp/mv-test'

$ src/mv -v mv-test mv-test-2
mv 'mv-test' 'mv-test-2'

This would be more useful. It would also be less confusing, since people who 
use 'mv' already know the syntax of 'mv' etc., whereas with the draft version 
they would need to deduce another syntax.
