You mean because the things are in different folders now - which means 
that a script 15 versions ago knew that another script is in certain 
folder, but the folders are now different and because cvs does not have 
memory that we changed the folder structure - it can not apply that 
correction upon snapshot?

If that's the case, there is no problem.

If we need the history of the individual files - it will not be 
affected, right?
