CVS does not perform revision control on directories, so if you have direct access to the repository files on the server, then you can do that by simply moving the directores around. However, be aware that any change you make will affect everyone who already has "MyRepository/ConfigFile/origional" checked out, who will very likely have to check out "MyRepository/ConfigFile" from scratch after you make the change. Also note that the history information for files in the "origional" folder (and its descendants) will have no record of the change. Finally, if you have any scripts, build tools, or anything that depends on the existing directory structure, you will be unable to go back and use earlier revisions. So, in other words, be very careful, and only do it if none of these cautions I've mentioned will be an issue (such as a brand new repository for example). As an alternative, you could just add "NewDir/origional", and then add the contents of the "ConfigFile/origional" folder to "NewDir/origional" folder, and then remove the contents of the original "origional" folder. That would preserve the history, and would allow you to check out an earlier revision if you ever needed it. Does that help? - Dennis
