As I said in another message, in Emacs, M-x vc-rename-file RET will work
when the back-end is RCS or SCCS, but not when it is CVS.
I have no idea what SCCS is, but I thought that RCS was _more_ primitive
than CVS.
All the problems you are talking about here (merging &c) arise for one
simple reason - you do not have "cvs mv" and you make people think that
"cvs add/rm" has anything to do with renaming.
There are two levels to renaming:
* you can go the "filesystem" way, do mv(1) and forget the old name
completely,
* or you can go the "change management: way, and remember the old
name(s), permitting undo &c.
Not providing _either_ is brain damage.
