Is it possible to rename a file and preserve cvs history?

I have a file that has been there for more than 1 year with periodic modifications. Now I have to rename this file, my only problem is that I don't want to lose the cvs history for this file. The history is important to me because I need to use it as a reference for my changes. I searched for 'cvs rename' but I didn't find one. Is there any way to do it?

There isn't a good way to do this. You can find the file in the cvs repository and rename that file. The drawback is this will be the name of the file for all versions not just going forward.

You can also copy the repository file to a file with the new name. Drawbacks to that too. It just depends on just exactly how you have things set up.
