It works for cvs updates! Try it with a local repo. I have done a lot
of restructuring this way. You simply get:
cvs server: file is no longer in the repository
With checkout you simply get:
cvs server: cannot find module `module' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
I am not sure about cvsup, but I assume it works, too.
If not, it is a missing feature.
