If you want to move pages along, they have to be in the same branch version.

The problem is that a new branch version shadows all other versions inside 
the branch. So they are all lost (unless you remove the branch version from 
the WS). Again we need a merge feature. In this case all element and page 
versions must be merged into the new branch version.

PS: The other option is to create a page version of source and target 
page's parent page. Eg when you want to move page "Source page" from 
"Source parent" into "Target parent" you have to create a page version of 
both "Source parent" and "Target parent".

+ Source parent
+- Sibling 1
+- Source Page
+- Sibling 2
+ Target parent
+- Sibling 1
+- Sibling 2
+- [ target destination ]
