7.4.2 Moving the history file

This method is more dangerous, since it involves moving files inside the repository. Read this entire section before trying it out!

 
$ cd $CVSROOT/dir
$ mv old,v new,v

Advantages:

  • The log of changes is maintained intact.

  • The revision numbers are not affected.

Disadvantages:

  • Old releases cannot easily be fetched from the repository. (The file will show up as new even in revisions from the time before it was renamed).

  • There is no log information of when the file was renamed.

  • Nasty things might happen if someone accesses the history file while you are moving it. Make sure no one else runs any of the CVS commands while you move it.
