You mean renaming the tags form 'foo' to something like 'premod_foo'
would be a disadvantage? After you have moved files I'd expect that
you would only diff individual files to see what has changed. So I
don't see the big disadvantage here.
instead of doing 
	cvs diff -r foo bar.c
you'd do:
	cvs diff -r 'premod_foo bar.c

That's all.

Cheers,
