--to and --from seem to have different semantics than --source and --destination. Subtle, but still different.
That being said, I am not sure --from and --to are needed at all. Calling the local repo . and all remotes by their name, they are arguably redundant and removing them would make the syntax a lot prettier; mv and cp don't need them, either.
I am not sure changing syntax at this point is considered good style though personally, I wouldn't mind adapting and would actually prefer it over using --to and --from.
-v and -q would be nice.

Let's see..
* -v is already an alias for --verbose
* I don't find --source and --destination as easy to type or as clear as --from or --to.
* -F is fast, so it cannot be used for --force. And I have no desire to make it easy to mistype a short option and enable --force; it can lose data.
@richard while it would be possible to support some syntax like \"git annex copy . remote\"; what is it supposed to do if there are local files named foo and bar, and a remotes named foo and bar? Does \"git annex copy foo bar\" copy file foo to remote bar, or file bar from remote foo? I chose to use --from/--to to specify remotes independant of files to avoid such
ambiguity, which plain old `cp` doesn't have since it's operating entirely on filesystem objects, not both filesystem objects and abstract remotes.
Seems like nothing to do here. [[done]] --[[Joey]]

Good point. scp fixes this by using a colon, but as colons aren't needed in git-annex remotes' names... -- RichiH
