[drupal-devel] Retaining CVS history over moves (was: PHPTemplatehits core)

[Gordon Heydon]

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.

Gordon.

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.
