Yeah I not quite sure what I thinking when I wrote that.

I think tla delete and tla move should go; tla rm and tla mv fit what
happens for most Unix people and tla delete-id and tla move-id remain to
fixup any sticky problems.

I'm not attached particularly over which (delete-id/delete; move-id/move)
of these should be removed but I don't think having both is useful. My
reason for suggesting that you keep the '-id' suffixed versions is
because otherwise it is hard to distinguish what the difference between
'tla move' and 'tla mv' really is.  That makes tla harder for a newcomer
to approach it.

Agreed.
