It is possible that "move" should be re-aliased from "move-id" to "mv",
however I think it is good to have this complete list of 5 commands:

  add     (alias: add-id)
  delete  (alias: delete-id)
  rm      (alias: remove)
  mv      (alias: move?, rename)
  move-id (alias: move?)

I am not sure why people think aliases are bad. cvs and svn have a lot of
them and feel no concern for this.
