+Often you will want to move some file contents from a repository to some
+other one. For example, your laptop's disk is getting full; time to move
+some files to an external disk before moving another file from a file
+server to your laptop. Doing that by hand (by using `git annex get` and
+`git annex drop`) is possible, but a bit of a pain. `git annex move`
+makes it very easy.

+ # git annex move my_cool_big_file --to usbdrive
+ move my_cool_big_file (moving to usbdrive...) ok
+ # git annex move video/hackity_hack_and_kaxxt.mov --from fileserver
+ move video/hackity_hack_and_kaxxt.mov (moving from fileserver...)
