Yes, I know. You are 100% right. I've long pushed back on adding a
"pass mv" for this exact reason. I don't want to write a file manager.
I want to keep pass small. I don't want all this extra *bloat*. This
has been my opinion about it for a long time. (Look back in the mail
archives, and you see me pushing back on all things like this, even
team pass additions, in favor of using bash aliases and gpg config
files...)

But there's been so much regular clamoring, it seems like I'm
caaaavvviiinngggg in.  But perhaps I can hold up longer and revert the
commit. I will ruminate on this a bit.
