"The transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies" is very vaguely worded. Notice that you don't need any deportations or expropriations at all to qualify - just picking a few plots of government-owned and build a garrison or a town on them. Both garrisons and towns have civilians as well as soldiers in them, so you have just moved "parts of your own civilian population into the territory". The article never specifies how big a part is needed to be a war crime. That's why I say that building a garrison is enough to qualify as a war crime.
