[rancid] Node rename but keep old rancid change history

[Lance Vermilion]

All,

I have a rancid install that used node names for each node that needed to be
backed up. The problem is the node naming scheme is changing and I would
like to not lose the history of what was there before. Is there a simple way
to do this.

I am using CVS and ViewVC.

TIA.

This is covered in the rancid faq at http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/FAQ

Look for "Q. I am renaming a device but would like to retain the history
in CVS. How is this done?"
