[rancid] Device name change and group change

[Justin Shore]

Is there an easy way to change a device's name and move it to a new
group in CVS? I define RANCID groups by POP. I just moved a router
from one POP to another and am also changing its name. I'd like to not
lose all of the old CVS history if I could help it. Suggestions?

Thanks
Justin

cd ~rancid (or /var/rancid or wherever your repository resides)
mv CVS/group/configs/name,v CVS/newgroup/configs/newname,v
(cd group; cvs update)
(cd newgroup; cvs update)
edit the router.db files

Maybe adding it to the FAQ will help other with the same
need....assuming it isn't already there.
