Hello, If you read the cvs manual you will see that you actually have to manually move files in the archive itself. The is done outside of the cvs interface. So it is a real pain.

<cvs rant> Moving the bluemarine PHPTemplate theme into core is one of the main reasons that I am starting to dislike cvs. Because of the move all the history of this is gone, and even the more importantly the credit to me. Also the accountability that this is 100% GPL code is also lost as there is no history before the initial commit.
Umm, well, that's a function of how the move was done, not just CVS -- although I admit CVS doesn't make it as easy as one would like. But bluemarine could have been moved with all history intact.
Really? How? Could you point me / us to some docs or write a quick how-to? This has come up a couple of times, even just within the contrib repository when stuff was being rearranged. I've read the CVS docs (quite a while ago), but I don't remember seeing anything about this type of ability. !DSPAM:427993e798271673159163!
