move --to=here
* move --to=here moves from all reachable remotes to the local repository.
The output of move --from remote is changed slightly, when the remote and
local both have the content. It used to say:
move foo ok
Now:
move foo (from theremote...) ok
That was done so that, when move --to=here is used and the content is
locally present and also in several remotes, it's clear which remotes the
content gets dropped from.
Note that move --to=here will report an error if a non-reachable remote
contains the file, even if the local repository also contains the file. I
think that's reasonable; the user may be intending to move all other copies
of the file from remotes.
OTOH, if a copy of the file is believed to be present in some repository
that is not a configured remote, move --to=here does not report an error.
So a little bit inconsistent, but erroring in this case feels wrong.
copy --to=here came along for free, but it's basically the same behavior as
git-annex get, and probably with not as good messages in edge cases
(especially on failure), so I've not documented it.
