Hi,

Is there any way to move a source file from one directory to another and
still maintain its RCS revision history?


Thanks,
Peter

Sure, but do prior releases depend on in being in it's current location? Old
pointers, links, shapshot files etc.

If that's the case we could copy it in RCS, if not we could just move it.

I'd say it's rarely the case that we could move the RCS file - only if it's
been recently bcreated and has not made it into any baselevel of anything.

Otherwise, as Grant said, copying the RCS file allows the history to be
maintained - it would then be submitted defunct in the old place and a
new submit done in the new place to get the SNAPSHOT file straight.
