Assuming I did this, what's the approved method?  

Myself, I'd just 

    # mv ipf.1 ipf.8
    # cvs remove ipf.1
    # cvs add ipf.8
    # cvs commit -m "Renamed ipf.1 to ipf.8" ipf.1 ipf.8
    [... check for any other man pages that refer to ipf(1) and update
         them accordingly ...]

which properly reflects that (until the change) ipf.8 didn't exist.  I 
*would not* use a repository copy for this.

I'm aware that some people's opinions of when you repository copy and 
when you don't are different, however.
