I think that's a serious enough disadvantage that warrents considering 
just copying the complete ,v files to the new location.  As long as the 
build system for the old version can ignore the duplicate files, I think 
that'll work just fine.

We could add a script to CVS that would remove the duplicate files from an 
old repository so that people needing to ship a clean source tarball would 
be able to create one.

I'm much more interested in making it easy to see how things have changed
than to make it easy to reproduce an older version of the system.

This also has the advantage of being much easier to manage during the 
transition -- just copy the ,v files and start hacking on the branch.
