<p>I recently moved to a new Rancid server using CVS and it's pretty simple. Tar up or cp the CVS repo dir and move it over. I wanted to move the previous CVS data into an "archive" directory to start fresh since some of the CVS files were getting very large
and sluggish to load. It turned out to be pretty simple to zap the CVS config files (Entries and *,v) with sed to move the files into the "archive" subdir.</p>
