Relocating Directories

[Rod Macpherson]

I have a sub-tree foo and I want to move it from /old/foo to /new/foo where "old" is a top-level module and "new" is a top-level module.

 

1. Create a copy of /old/foo in /new/foo using cvs export.

2. Physically remove the files in /old/foo while preserving the CVS folders.

3. Remove the contents of /old/foo using cvs remove.

4. Add the new files in /new/foo using cvs add.

5. Commit the changes to /new then commit the changes to /old.

 

Will this preserve my history?
