This is one of the problemn that lead to the creation of
Subversion. This is also totally controlled and supported by arch ;)
The usual way with CVS is to remove th eold name and create the new one,
but it doesn't keep the history ... The other way is a mv in the
repository itself, but it's not IMHO possible on gna's one .
