That is correct. CVS doesn't recognise relocations of any kind:
movement of code within a file or between files, or movement (renaming)
of files. The reason is probably that diff doesn't support this either.
It would not be all that difficult to add and it would make CVS much
more effective, but it's dangerous to mess with such a standard system.
