There's no requirement that rsync can only be used between two different machines. > It did have it, > until it got depreciated. No, it didn't have such an option. Go read those old threads. --reply=no would *only* have worked in those situations where mv would have prompted the user. That means when -i was also specified and when stdout was a terminal. But for example if -i wasn't given or mv was used in a batch/cron situation with stdout redirected it would *not* have prompted, and thus the file would be overwritten despite the user giving --reply=no. This was the source of much confusion and the reason why it the option was deprecated, because it did work in the manner that people expected.
