This is getting silly. When "renaming" files in either RCS _or_ CVS,
_either_ the file history _or_ the directory state (meaning that an
older checkout did no longer compile because files appeared under their
new name) was _lost_. Why should we _now_ try rewriting distant history
that was good enough when it was still young?
