Yeah, I think that's what we discussed the last time the question came
up.

It seems awfully wrongheaded to me.  IMHO, the entire point of a CVS
repository is to store past states of your software, not only the
current state.  Destroying the accurate representation of your historical
releases is a poor tradeoff for making it a little easier to find the
log entries for code that's been moved around.  What's the point
of having history, if it's not accurate?
