Move a file in CVS without resetting the revision number

Question

Lately I\'ve be moving source files around in our source tree. For example placing a bunch of files into a common assembly. I\'ve been doing this my deleting the file from CVS

Answer 1

Isn't this one of the known flaws with CVS - no inbuilt mechanism for moving files? It has been a long time since I used it however, so maybe there is now a solution.

Subversion will allow you to move files, but that will be tracked as well so the new file gets the most recent revision number.
