Changes (by davidsarah):

  * keywords:  tahoe-mv usability => tahoe-mv usability error


Comment:

 There seem to be three issues here:
  * to match the behaviour of Unix {{{mv}}}, the destination of the first
 command should have been treated as {{{tahoe:on_ootles}}}. This only
 applies when the source is a path (rather than a direct cap), so that its
 name relative to its parent is known.
  * replace_me_with_a_childcap needs to check that {{{self.parentnode}}} is
 not None, in order to raise a more sensible error.
  * "{{{path/.}}}" or "{{{alias:.}}}" should probably be treated the same
 as "{{{path/}}}" or "{{{alias:}}}"
