My suggestion for "mv A B" would be:

Rename A
  => B (n%)

Same as the current thing, except with a line break and indentation before the arrow.

For "cp A B":

Copy A
  => B (n%)

I think the only difference should be the line with "A" on it, and the difference should only depend on whether A still exists.
