We are working on something similar, will certainly be available soon
(hopefully during the next week).

Sincerely, I do not know about this one (perhaps someone else in the
team does). It was good that you mentioned it, I will look into it.

With Subversion, that is done with copying/moving. More information to
come in the docs being written. =)

As was previously mentioned, one of the reasons why Subversion was
chosen was that the way of thinking of the contributors would not change
(much), so the transition would not mean trouble or lots of stuff to
learn for them. It's not as tragic as it may seem ;)
