CVS won't get upset but your developers might. If a developer has a
module checked out that you move they will not be able to check it in.
You can recover from this by editing the CVS/Repository file in every
module but this can be error prone.
I recommend that you make a copy of the repository which you can
re-arrange to your hearts content. I would write a script to do this so
that it is reproducable. Once it is arranged how you want it, get
everyone to release their workspaces and you can re-arrange the repository
and then have everyone check everything out again.
