CVS Question: moving files

Quick question. How does one move/rename files under CVS and maintain
history?

| You generally log into the cvs server and "cp /cvsroot/old/file
| /cvsroot/new/file" and then from a working tree do a "cvs rm  
old/file" ...
| that preserves the history in both locations.

  You also might want to remove the existing tags in the new copy,  
so that when one checks out -r FOO, they don't start getting new  
files that weren't part of FOO when FOO was tagged.
