If you do that, it still corrupts old tags because then you get extra
files you shouldn't get.  add/remove is the least bad of the many bad
solutions to this problem.  Besides, the file in the new location
should *not* have a history *there*.  Copying the history of the
deleted file is misleading.

Note that your initial add should include a note as to where you're
moving from, of course, and you can still "cvs log" a removed file
too.
