This is an excellent example of a confusing mv command and a bad default choice, as encountered by someone presumably new to Fossil.
The problem is that Fossil doesn't move files on its own, by default. Why would anyone want that behaviour, especially as a default, is beyond me. You need to specify --hard and to have an executable that has been compiled with such an option. Search for Joe Mistachin's response to my question about it on the mailing list for details.
