 7.4.1 The Normal way to Rename
 ------------------------------
 
 The normal way to move a file is to copy OLD to NEW, and then issue the
 normal CVS commands to remove OLD from the repository, and add NEW to
 it.
 
      $ mv OLD NEW
      $ cvs remove OLD
      $ cvs add NEW
      $ cvs commit -m "Renamed OLD to NEW" OLD NEW
 
    This is the simplest way to move a file, it is not error-prone, and
 it preserves the history of what was done.  Note that to access the
 history of the file you must specify the old or the new name, depending
 on what portion of the history you are accessing.  For example, `cvs
 log OLD' will give the log up until the time of the rename.
 
    When NEW is committed its revision numbers will start again, usually
 at 1.1, so if that bothers you, use the `-r TAG' option to commit.  For
 more information see  Assigning revisions.
