While we're discussing move-if-change here is a trivial patch that has
been sitting in my tree for some time.  I always build with make -s,
so this bugs me perhaps more than most.  Like mv(1), move-if-change
should be silent, too.  Okay for mainline?

	* move-if-change: Don't produce any output, just like mv(1).
