You should lock the repository down, to prevent anyone
from using it while it is being copied.
Also anyone who has a sandbox/workspace( whatever you
want to call it ) will no longer be able to use it,
unless you go in and hach their CVS/* files.
So the best approach generally is:
1) Have everyone check in changes.
2) Lock the repository
3) move the repository
4) unlock the repository
5) Have everyone delete old workspaces
6) Have everyone check out modules.
