One of the main reasons I use Eclipse and started on the CFEclipse project is that Eclipse is bar none the best CVS client I've ever seen.
In my experience, no matter how I shuffle things around, rename files, delete directories, whatever, it seems to seamlessly keep track of every single change and commit it to the repository. That's for changes I make from within Eclipse itself mind you, if I go off to the file system and start messing with files then I'm back into the usual CVS rename/move/delete fun and games. TortoiseCVS used to be the first thing I installed on every machine I used, but I don't even have it on any of my machines these days.
