 7.4.2 Moving the history file
 -----------------------------
 
 This method is more dangerous, since it involves moving files inside
 the repository.  Read this entire section before trying it out!
 
      $ cd $CVSROOT/DIR
      $ mv OLD,v NEW,v
 
 Advantages:
 
    * The log of changes is maintained intact.
 
    * The revision numbers are not affected.
 
 Disadvantages:
 
    * Old releases cannot easily be fetched from the repository.  (The
      file will show up as NEW even in revisions from the time before it
      was renamed).
 
    * There is no log information of when the file was renamed.
 
    * Nasty things might happen if someone accesses the history file
      while you are moving it.  Make sure no one else runs any of the CVS
      commands while you move it.
