Although I realize you're refering to the re-positioning of files from a
third-party package to places within the NetBSD source tree, I would
like to point this out:

The most recent versions of CVS do a much better job of handling file
removal and additions in new imports (renaming is a mis-nomer -- there
is no such thing -- files are remove or added -- they are not renamed).

The trick is to *NOT* use the merge command suggested by the "cvs
import" command, but rather to use the explicit vendor tags from the
previously merged import and the current import.  The ":yesterday" stuff
is broken (and had always been of somewhat questionable value).
