As some of you might be aware of, my section in gedasymbols.org is a copy 
of my actual working library. This is to keep the administration overload 
at minimum and still offer a consistent set of symbols and footprints. 

Over the years, my library of symbols and footprints has grown quite a 
bit. So I decided to introduce more fine grained subdirectories. While at 
it, I also renamed a couple of existing dirs. However, this prevents me my 
usual upload to gedasymbols.org: CVS cannot rename files. To emulate a 
move, you'd have to use the delete command on a file and re-add it to the 
repo with a different name. This sounds ok for a few files. But less so 
for the about 1000 that constitute my lib.

If I understand the CVS docs correctly, files on the server are not really 
deleted but marked ignore. As a consequence, CVS also cannot delete or 
rename directories.

How would I most efficiently synchonize my section in gedasymbols with my 
local restructured lib?
