Move a file can not be done cleanly at the local level. The best way to do this with CVS is to go to the cvsroot repository and move the file or directory within the repository there. The cvsroot repository keeps all files in their RCS form of filename,v . The next cvs update will manifest the file move.
Tagging sources:
$ cvs tag $name $ cvs rtag $name
Revert file:
$ rm $file # remove it from local sources $ cvs update $file # get a new copy from the repository
There are no such command but this command allow extract such info:
$ cd $CVS_PROJ $ cvs rlog -l -h -b $(cat CVS/Repository)
$ cvs up -A
