A comment to moving within CVS: This will most likely kill history for your current project: Will it be possible to check out a snapshot of yesterday's code and build it? Just think about the build-file itself? Won't that have any reference to the lf5-directories, source files or whatever? Moving in cvs will almost always give you history-breakings, and should as the most general rule always be avoided. What about simply "cvs removing" the files, thus moving them into the actual CVS Attic directory? Or, I guess, you could convert CVS to a SVN repo, and then do a "move" instruction to it, thus moving the whole dir-structure (which is impossible in CVS) as a history-event.
