Tell everyone to commit their pending changes or risk
losing them. Create the "prod/" directory in the repository
and move the entire "com/" tree under it, to "prod/com/".
Check out the "CVSROOT" module and edit CVSROOT/module
in the resulting sandbox. Add a line like this,
com prod/com
and commit it. Try to check out a few "com" sandboxes, including
old tagged releases, it should work just as it did before. Tell
everyone to check out a new "prod" sandbox and resume from there.
It's a little annoying to force everyone to commit and check out
from scratch, but it's not a major disruption once you've decided
to bite the bullet.
