I use the tree plugin (or at least a custom version of it) which works extremely fast at moving files around, copying them, deleting them, even modifying them. It doesn't automatically fix all the broken links though. That could be handled manually however with the linkrot plugin. The other problem is indexing. You will need to reindex any moved files. Oh, and it doesn't create stamps of the files, though that could be added I suppose. Obviously we could develop a more powerful plugin that did more of this for us.
Haven't used Joomla or Wordpress, but my guess is they are both database driven. Seems you would have to be to do automatic redirects and the like. Well, I suppose we could generate some kind of redirect index or something. Or perhaps even try tapping into the stamp data if it has that info stored. Actually, that's kind of a cool idea... I'm working on stamps now and having some real problems. But I'll make a note to consider this for a plugin of some sort, eventually... I really like tree. If you have problems using it let me know. It may need to be upgraded. Or the instructions may not be clear. But it is a handy utility.
