New description:

 I made a patch to add a move button to the directory listing of the web
 interface. It's used to move a file/dir inside a dir to a different dir
 contained in that dir. I have not written unit tests yet but they should
 be ready in a few days. This patch applies cleanly to both the 1.9.0
 release (use patch -p1) and to the latest git
 (5fc99788269c350479b6ac51009d2725035ce0c5).

 I have tested it in practical usage and found it to work quite well and
 handle errors gracefully.

 Possible future improvements include the ability to move to a dircap URI
 outside of the current directory, but I will have to figure out how to
 convert a URI into a working DirectoryNode in a deferrer-friendly way
 before I can do this.

 EDIT: Looks like I can't get the upload file thing to work.
