Hmm. Shouldn't that be done on a by-RCS basis, though? (i.e. implemented
by backends in the `rcs_move` function)

Also, how should ikiwiki react if a page is edited (say, by another user)
before it is moved? Bail, or shrug and proceed?

Could you elaborate on [[commit-internals]]? Can I assume that ikiwiki's
working copy W will always reflect a revision of the master copy M?
(That is, nobody changes W and leaves it uncommitted.) I would guess
a web user makes different changes, my changes get wiped out. So does
W "belong" to ikiwiki? --Ethan
