It might be a bit of extra work, but why not just copy the files around in the repository? History is important! :-)
Two reasons:
I'm not even sure what the directory structure is going to look like yet, and I don't really know how, if, or which old files will map into new files.
It's a royal PITA to do this when you don't have direct access to the repository.
For now, this is all extremely experimental. I just need a place to check in some noodlings so the code isn't just sitting on my disk.

If there is enough demand for tree reorganization to require using a completely new CVS module, has any thought been given to switching to a revision control system that actually *supports* renames?
There seems to be quite a few of them about, and in particular GNU Arch appears to have gotten a popularity boost recently.
