For clarification:

Suppose I have page called page "A"

When I move page "A" to page "B", the edit history of page "A" and the
information is moved to page "B"

Then the system creates a new page "A" with one single edit in the history:
User blah moved page "A" to page "B" and the cooresponding redirect is left on
the new page "A". Nothing in the edit history of page "B" (formally page "A")
indicates the page was moved from page "A".

This request is to include in the edit history that on page "B", it indicates
where the page use to be. Specifically, in the edit history of page "B", it
says: This page was moved from page "A" or something like that.

This should be relatively practical in 1.5; with separation of revision and text storage we should be
able to store the additional revision information without wastefully duplicating the text.

Waiting on some additional tweaks to the schema.
