If such action is taken _at all_, then moving on the server.  The only
exception would be, if the only developer of that file would move it (note
the word "only"), if he doesn't care for history.  Of course this
all brings interesting problems with it, like the difficulty of applying
patches of former versions and similar things.

Like every RCS repo: a number of directories with files *,v, where * is
the checked out name.  Each non attic-dir can possibly hold an Attic/ dir
with also such files and no subdirs.  One might rename files there too, or
not.  Don't touch the CVSROOT/ directory.


Ciao,
