I just wan't to point out the analogy of this to version control sytems
like CVS or SVN. They are half as complex like TYPO3 but it's also hard for
them to handle the problem of moving directories or even files.

In TYPO3 workspaces and in version control sytems we have paralel instances
that need to get synchronized from time to time and moving of elements it
allways the difficult point.

One of the main reasons why they did a complete rewrite of CVS to SVN was
this problem. Also with SVN I run into troubles regularly when I need to
move things around.
