People used to unix's "mv" command like to have a single command for
this, but for other people, "move" a file and "rename" a file are two
distinct operations (see how you rename a file and how you move it to
a distinct directory in a graphical file manager for example - and
remember that bzr is supposed to be usable on Windows and therefore
by windows users).

I've teached the basis of unix to people in 1st year of engineering
school, and most students had difficulties to understand the unix "mv"
unification. Martin considered this "mv" was mostly nocive and did a
separate "move" and "rename". I'm glad that the unixish version is
also available.
