In #1732 we added a ?t=move operation to the web-API, which is strictly more general than ?t=rename. Should we deprecate the latter?

(I tend towards keeping ?t=rename.)

I tend towards deprecating ?t=rename, because I like minimalism in an API and I think of every API function as another thing that slows down our progress because we have to support it. So I'm about +½ on deprecating it at this point.

Well, I suppose we can only deprecate it after we've changed tahoe mv to stop using it, in any case.

Replying to davidsarah:

I was mistaken, tahoe mv uses ?t=uri to add the link to the new location. It probably should be changed to use ?t=move, though.

I was mistaken, `tahoe mv` uses `?t=uri` to add the link to the new location. It probably *should* be changed to use `?t=move`, though.
