It doesn't with me (CVSNT 2.0.53).
Doing something like:
cvs rename test.txt ..\test.txt
does the following:
* As expected: remove the file from current dir (Sandbox)
* As expected: generate the file in the updir (..) (Sandbox)
* But: The moved file is not part of CVS anymore. I have to add and
commit it again ...
* File test.txt within the Repository also keeps unchanged ...
Esp. the add command will break the continuity of history of the file -
or doesn't it?
Addition:
The rename files in the CVS-subdirs look like:
Rename in CVS-dir in current dir:
renametest/test/test.txt
Rename in CVS-dir in updir:
renametest/test/test.txt
renametest/test.txt
