Moving files doesn't work, but copying them isn't so bad.

Copying the ,v file gives you the history that would be lost with "cvs
add". The ugly side effect is that checkouts of the old tree will have
the file under both names. This looks ugly, but most build systems will
be happy to ignore the extra files.

"cvs remove" can still be used to provide only one name of each file in
future checkouts.
