    Subject: Moving a label
    
    The semantics for LABEL have changed somewhat.  A client used to be able 
    to add a label to a revision and cause it to be moved from any other 
    revision -- this was a useful 'atomic' operation.  Now, it seems, the 
    client must remove then add the label to move it -- this may cause race 
    condition problems as well as inconsistencies if the client fails to 
    complete the add.
