The best course of action would be to do:
cd $CVSROOT
mv earthdistance pgsql-server/contrib
ln -s pgsql-server/contrib/earthdistance .
cd ~/open_source/postgresql/CVSROOT
patch -p0 < ~/earthdistance.patch # edits modules
cvs ci modules
[Send a HEADSUP to -hackers]
[Add a TODO entry for pgsql admins to remove the symlink after pgsql
hits 8.0 or some sufficiently long, but not overly long period of
time]
cvs up's, cvs co's with old scripts, and new cvs exports/co's will
work as expected.

-sc
PS After 7.4, could someone go through the motions to change $Id$ to
$PostgreSQL$?
