The cvs log of $2 will show the addition of the file, but the log of the file's creation will show that it is a renaming, so you can access the rest of the history from file 1's history. It's not perfect, but it works.
I wasn't claiming that CVS was the solution to all problems. I'm sure that there's a better solution out there. I just wanted to point out that there is a partial workaround.

Alias mv to execute some shell script:
mv $1 $2
cvs remove $1
cvs add $2
cvs commit -m "move $1 $2" $1 $2 You might want to add some script to deal with the case where $2 is a directory, but that shouldn't be too hard.
That way, information about the move and the previous file status is kept.
