Is it backwards compatible to move protos to another file?

For example if I cut and paste existing proto

message A {
  string b = 1;
}

from /repo/protos/foo.proto to /repo/protos2/foo2.proto

Is this ok to do? I realize .pb.gos will change. I'm trying to organize my protos, foo.proto is getting too big.

Yes. What matters are the types and field numbers. As long as that doesn't change, serialization and deserialization will be backwards compatible.
