Too long. I don't care. Think of something short. 
We should use (reuse) the branch for all the modularization work.
Therefore you don't have to add 'include'.

Hmm. If you move around files in the repository you will never be able
to checkout the previous state. 
The best thing you can do is to add a note to the first commit at the
new location telling where the file came from. If you have a well defined
format for this you can even set up a script (cvs wrapper?) that digs
up the original file.

Yes, I thought of this also but it may be extremely awkward. You will
never be able to restore an older version the way it was.

Let me play a little and see what would be a sane thing to do.

Egbert.
