If you use cvs add/cvs remove it'll work.. of course that way you lose
history.
One way that some people do is to copy the ,v file to the new place,
then just cvs remove the old one - so both files have history.
The problem with rename at the moment is all directories are
independent. Rename across directories can work sometimes, but you have
to be careful the 'destination' directory gets committed at the same
time otherwise the file can vanish completely... in the 2.6.x core
it's all centrally managed so that issue never happens.
