RE: Re: CVSNT Rename Support?

I have done moves and renames within the cvs repository. I will create
the new directory structure, copy the files to the new location, then
notify user to delete the old files, so the files from the old location
will go into the attic. History is intact and by copying the files and
the new location still has all the modified history.

Yes, but you lose the entire versioning history for the original name if
you
do this. Although the file/dir history itself is retained, it is
retained
with the new filename. If you checkout an older tag, the filename will
not
revert to the old filename. If you want to rename the file in a branch,
but
not everywhere else, that option doesn't work either.

Thanks,

Eric
