Does this mean I can move a file using
cvs rename Dir1\file1.txt Dir2\file2.txt
?


However, rename does work, but
cvs commit in the directory I renamed the file gives

D:\Metromec\misc\Test\Test>cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs server: Examining .
cvs server: Up-to-date check failed for `ProbeChangers.dtd'
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!
cvs commit: saving log message in C:\temp\cvs167.tmp

(ProbeChangers.dtd used to be Modell.dtd. The repository was created 
with an older version of CVSNT)

and a commit of the directory one level up makes cvs crash. Do you want 
the crashdump?

Thank you for this long awaited feature and keep up the good work!
