I'm sure you already knew this, but you'll need to update the cvs 
modules for the repository at the same time you're doing this - these 
files are explicitly named in there:

src-support  -a src/.cvsignore src/COPYING src/COPYING.LIB 
src/COPYING.NEWLIB
             src/COPYING.LIBGLOSS src/ChangeLog src/MAINTAINERS
             src/Makefile.def src/Makefile.in src/Makefile.tpl

             src/config.guess src/config.if src/config.sub src/configure
             src/configure.in src/contrib src/etc src/gettext.m4

             src/libtool.m4 src/ltcf-c.sh src/ltcf-cxx.sh 
src/ltcf-gcj.sh
             src/ltconfig src/ltmain.sh src/makefile.vms src/missing 
src/mkdep
             src/mkinstalldirs src/move-if-change src/mpw-README
             src/mpw-build.in src/mpw-config.in src/mpw-configure
             src/mpw-install src/setup.com src/src-release 
src/symlink-tree
             src/ylwrap


This means that someone checking out an old gdb/binutils release will 
not get exactly the right set of sources (namely, the checkout won't 
include the top-level mpw files).  I shed a very small tear.
