The shield is just confusing. In one case it doesn't work, and in the other case it just shows you a copy of the file you can see just below except in red. Fixes T4599, T1211. Note T1211 proposed not showing the "move away" file at all but I think removing the shield fixes the source of confusion. The code here is a bit if / else if / else if... heavy but this is logically sound.

rPdc1106a9b910: Differential - stop showing the shield for "move away" operations
made a diff where i moved a file then edited it in the new location. viewed diff, saw confusing shield, dropped caches, applied patch, viewed diff and saw no shield. made a diff where I moved a file and didn't edit in new location and saw similar shield disappearness.

I think leaving the caches is reasonable. This is pretty rare and this is the most expensive cache to rebuild.
I wonder if we should always shield these with a message like "This file was moved elsewhere." or "This file was moved to <destination link>"? We'll basically always show the whole file in red now, right? And show it again elsewhere in the diff? Or am I getting the behavior wrong?
This is less confusing/incorrect and strictly an improvement, in any case.

Here's a very mature screenshot of the new behavior. If I hadn't edited the file in the new location, there would be a shield there to show the contents as they were unchanged.
