Comment(by kevan):

 I'm attaching a patch that implements + tests for the behavior described
 above.

 However, when testing, I came upon another maybe-bug.

 If, using the trunk build from last night, I do

 {{{
 tahoe mv tahoe:file1 file1
 }}}

 with the expectation that it will copy the remote file to my system, it
 purports to succeed (i.e.: no error message) but doesn't actually copy
 anything to my system, and unlinks the remote file. Is this what we want
 to happen?
