There is no clean way of moving files in cvs and retaining history :( it's
one of the (few) bad things with cvs (another is that you cannot really
use -D to check out an old version cleanly).

I think the closest you can get is to cp the ,v files to the new place
and then do cvs rm on the original files (so you can restore an earlier
version if you want). If you do plain mv you screw that up (as well as any
person who has a checkout).

You'll need to manually remove the tags from the cp'ed files though,
otherwise you'll get problems backing up as well (you'll get duplicates).
