That's why you COPY the files in the repo, cvs rm the old locations
(so they still exist on older tags/branches), and do some surgery on
the new locations to remove the old tags (though you can't remove
branches last I checked, without more serious magic; you could go in
and cvs rm on the branches I guess, which is better than nothing,
though more work) so they don't start showing up on old release co's.

It's nasty, but it works.
