There is no direct method of renaming files within the CVS repository. In order to rename
a file, you must remove the old name and add in the new one. Here is an example of renaming a
file from oldfile to newfile.
# cvs status oldfile
============================================================
File: oldfile
Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.1
Repository revision: 1.1
oldfile,v
Sticky Tag:
(none)
Sticky Date:

Sticky Options: (none)
/usr/local/cvsroot/fuzion/
# mv oldfile newfile
# cvs remove oldfile
cvs server: scheduling `oldfile' for removal
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently
# cvs add newfile
cvs server: scheduling file `newfile' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently
# cvs commit -m "Ren oldfile newfile" oldfile newfile
