David,
Agreed. CVS has no commands for moving files or directories. It also has
no command for removing directories from a repository. Subversion is in
development at this time. It addresses these problems and others.

Subversion
http://subversion.tigris.org/

You may want to consider using generic names where possible, and use the
commit message to indicate the version committed.

http://cvs.leaf-project.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/devel/ddouthitt/base/e3/
Example:
cvs ci -m "New checksum for new archive and new version..." \
e3-2.33.tar.gz.md5

Becomes:
cvs ci -m "update e3 md5 to v2.33" e3.tar.gz.md5

This would allow updates without deleting files.
