That way any cvs history in zlib is carried forward. And all CVS versions of Makefile.in except HEAD die horribly.

Yes, you'll screwup Makefile.in, not per tag, but per revision. > The alternative is to create a new winsup/zlib directory.

They'd have to anyway regardless of the way you do the move. You could take a copy of thezlib dir, and use cvs delete to delete the old one - that way you'll have the history on the new dir, and a checkout -D in cinstall will continue to work. -Rob
