Re: Rename a directory?

[Marcus Crafter]

Hi James,

        Have a look at these links:
        
        http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_7.html#SEC74
        http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Renaming_Files_And_Directories
        
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#I_need_to_move_files_around_without_losing_revision_history

        Hope that helps. Essentially, you have to move the files in the
        repository to their new location (or alternatively remove and re-add
        them to your project).

        Cheers,

        Marcus
