Because the API required for this is in the Carbon library. But 2.0 will make use of it.
Only if there are no unsaved changes I assume.
It doesn't make any difference as the file that is moved is the one that was on the disk, TM keeps an alias to it and doesn't have to care where it is.
You can also rename the file without anything getting lost. All in all life is MUCH better for the user.
Looking forward to seeing this, it is sadly missing. On the cocoa- carbon issue, I note that subethaedit handles file moves and renames transparently, and i am pretty sure it is cocoa. Perhaps they went to the trouble of using the carbon wrappers under cocoa, but perhaps there is another way to get this feature, which exists already?
