It is possible to rename files in CVS, but it involves
copying the file directly in the CVS repository...
The correct way IMHO is the following:
1) Copy old_file,v to new_file,v
2) Check out new_file
3) Remove all tags from new_file (except branch tags)
4) cvs rm old_file
This way old_file will be checked out if one
checks out an old release, new_file will be
checked out if one retrieves the current version
and it will have the complete commit logs.
