Yes.

This says to me "I, the mv command, have just moved  A to B.

If that (create B) is what it is doing in that step, then it should not
mention the unrelated A.

>> '/tmp/programs/grow.tgz'
This says to me "I am moving A/C to B/C". But there is no more A... at
least that is what the user thinks... so how could it still move it.

Well all I know is if the user always can do something on one line, then he
would expect a consistent number of -v output lines.
