One additional question on this: Is there any way to preserve history on the new file?
My understanding is that if I copy the <oldfile>,v to <newfile>,v on the server and then run the commands below on the client, then this will affect the trunk as well as the branches. Is this true? If true, is there any other way to rename a file in the trunk & retain the history of the oldfile in the newfile while keeping the oldfile intact in the branches?
