Maybe this is a more convincing argument: If the client printed 'Moved from URL@REV' it would be printing nonsense. It is a nonsense thing to say "I moved the node foo as found in revision 42 to the local node bar". Revisions are immutable so foo@42 cannot be removed from revision 42 and added to the working copy under a different name. I don't think command line client should be printing information which can be easily misunderstood, and misleading.
