Basically yes, though it's not a new thing - we have been from day 1 of =
using svn. Or rather, each time somebody "replaces" a file we (peter, =
bz, or me) have to manually hack svn2cvs to handle the case with the =
increasing risk that we will do it wrong and svn/cvs will be out of =
sync.

You can move files and dirs, just as long as you don't move them on top =
of existing files. The problem is that that creates an 'remove' and =
'add' operation in the same changeset which CVS cannot handle.

Tested patches are accepted =
(http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/svnadmin/tools/export.py), or even =
better - work on killing off CVS sooner rather than later.

Ports will explicitly deny "Replaced" files in a presubmit check. I will =
look at adding the same for src once I get a chance.
