Comment (by ClashTheBunny):

 The rooted path is the most general representation of a file or directory,
 as it could just be a dircap or a dircap with subdirectories.  As such,
 the correct representation is as zooko mentions:

     POST /uri/$ROOTEDPATH_TO_DIR?t=move&from_name=OLD&to=NEWROOTEDPATH

 It then adds this slight complication to my 5 point list above:

 * If ROOTEDPATH_TO_DIR actually points to a file, raise an exception.
