Yes! Don't do this! If anybody has committed changes to any files, you
will be putting incorrect information about the "base" version of your
work files.

Rather than doing what you suggest, just write a short script to
change the contents of all CVS/Root files in your current sandbox to
point to the new server (and new login name, if your name has
changed), then continue doing updates, etc, as if nothing ever
happened.
