Um, no we wouldn't. If I were to physically move a file in the
repository you would no longer be able to build older versions of the
project. To "move" a file you 'cvs remove' it from one directory and
'cvs add' it to the new directory.
Oops. Sorry, I wasn't really thinking about the context, but wanted
just to say that it is *possible* to do moves in the repository. I
didn't mean it should be done in this case.
