New Revision: 1495084
URL: http://svn.apache.org/r1495084
Log:
In the 1.8 release notes, explicitly point out that a local move is not
preserved as a move when committed, as I feel some readers would have
optimistically assumed it meant more than it did.
* publish/docs/release-notes/1.8.html
(svn-status-info-moves, moves): Tweak and expand.
