Val Henson:
For a laugh, read the instructions on how to "rename" CVS files.
Hint: "Rename" is not the correct word.
$ mv old new
$ cvs remove old
$ cvs add new
$ cvs commit -m "Renamed old to new" old new
[...] There are two other ways to rename a file in CVS, one of
which is described as "dangerous" and the other as having
"drawbacks." References:
Note that the way to rename a file in in BitKeeper is:
$ bk mv old new
No danger, no drawbacks, no hand editing of history files.
I like the arch way of renaming a file:
$ mv old new
(Yes, history is preserved, etc.)
