[rancid] migrating servers and cvs

[David Jones]

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.

I wasn't sure if there was a cvs backup command or something...
