There is a fairly easy way, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc do repo-copies all
the time and keep all the history.

What I do is:

1) In the repository copy the files to the new locations.
2) edit the files in the new locations and remove all tags so the
file won't be included in checkouts.
3) Where you have checked out the code delete the file and then cvs
delete the files

It is not perfect, but does keep the history.
