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.
