No, not it isn't. Provide a script to convert path's in the diff.
This is what $LARGE_FREEBSD_USER did when it rearranged it source tree.
It was done by creating a copy of the CVS repo and moved files around.
Old releases stayed in the old repo, and new releases done from the new
repo. 'diff | fixpatch | patch -p0' were used to move code between
sandboxes.
