yeah, afaik, cvs does not have a mv.  you can do it manually; see

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/133721/move-a-file-in-cvs-without-resetting-the-revision-number/133827

make sure rancid does not run while you are fiddling.

something like
	su - rancid
	. /path/to/rancid.conf
	set -o noclobber
	echo $$ > $TMPDIR/.<groupname>.run.lock
	cd $CVSROOT/<groupname>
	cp -p hostname,v newhostname,v
	cd $BASEDIR/<groupname>
	cvs update
	vi router.db # replace the entry with new
	rm $TMPDIR/.<groupname>.run.lock

there are scripts to convert cvs to svn or git.
