Re: What a modern collaboration toolkit looks like

    Speaking from experience on multiple projects, a pernicious CVS
    effect is to install a reluctance to rename.  This is tantamount
    to banning any large scale refactoring.  And that is ultimately
    extremely damaging to a long-lived code base under truly active
    development.

I agree that this is a drawback of CVS, but in Emacs we have
not let it stop us from moving files around.  We've done
substantial amounts of that recently.
