When "renaming" files in either RCS _or_ CVS, _either_ the file history _or_ the directory state (meaning that an older checkout did no longer compile because files appeared under their new name) was _lost_. Why should we _now_ try rewriting distant history that was good enough when it was still young? -- David Kastrup
