Hi all,
We on our project are re-organizing the way we store data and as part of
that I need to move an existing folder to a different location.
 
Say for example right now I have a folder named A in the repository
which has a lot of subfolders and files 
Eg. 
A
|-----A1
|      |------A11
|      |------A12
|
|-----A2
|-----A3

I am planning to create a new directory structure where I will be moving
the complete folder A into a new folder called X as shown below
Say 
        X
        |----------A
        |            |-----A1
        |            |      |------A11
        |            |      |------A12
        |            |  
        |            |-----A2
        |            |-----A3
        Y
        |----------B
        |----------C
etc.

My question is how can I go about doing this without disturbing the
history.

As per my understanding simply creating the new folder X using a CVS
client and then copying the folder A on the repository (server) from
/rep_root/A to /rep_root/X/A will work.

I just want a confirmation on whether tags/ branches/ dates or anything
else will be a problem after the move. I will be bringing down the
repository for this time period and obviously will ask everybody to do a
fresh checkout after the move is complete.

Note: I do not have any customized admin files. 

Looking forward to your response.
Regards
Aditya
