Implement a move command

[ChrisSLT]

Part of keeping things in sync is moving files from one place to another via Drive. Could you implement a command that moves all files from one place to another. Basically, it copies them and then after verifies successful copy on receiving end, deletes on source end?

Nice idea - thanks.

I'm working on server side copies at the moment which this would fit in nicely with.

Tech design:

• make new optional interfaces Mover and DirMover
  • Mover should have the same interface as Copy - not be on an object
• make a new rclone command "move"
  • This will attempt to use DirMover if available and the destination doesn't exist
  • if not it will attempt to use Mover on each file
  • if that doesn't work it will copy then delete the source
    • copy will use Copier interface if available

FS

• Drive: can implement Mover and DirMover this using this api see also go library will need to set Title and possible add and remove parents
• S3 doesn't support moving/renaming objects
• Swift doesn't support moving/renaming objects
• GCS doesn't support moving/renaming objects - can't change object name with patch
• Dropbox can implement Mover and DirMover api
• Local - can implement both with rename

@ChrisSLT thanks for the feature request! Let me know how you get on and open a new ticket if you find issues.

I've factored the server side move stuff out of this to #115

Terrific!
