That "stupid hack" will destroy any possibility of retrieving past revisions.
It will also disrupt current working directories somewhat.
The correct procedure (as documented in the manual) is to:
1. create the new directory
2. move all the files from the old directory to the new one
3. "cvs rm *" in the old directory
4. "cvs add newdir"
5. "cd newdir; cvs add *"
6. "cvs commit" at the root of the working directory and give a
commit message that identifies exactly what you've done.
