7.4.3 Copying the history file

This way also involves direct modifications to the repository. It is safe, but not without drawbacks.

 
# Copy the RCS file inside the repository
$ cd $CVSROOT/dir
$ cp old,v new,v
# Remove the old file
$ cd ~/dir
$ rm old
$ cvs remove old
$ cvs commit old
# Remove all tags from new
$ cvs update new
$ cvs log new             # Remember the non-branch tag names
$ cvs tag -d tag1 new
$ cvs tag -d tag2 new

By removing the tags you will be able to check out old revisions.
