Would it be at all reasonable to create a seperate tree just to store stuff
that's been cleaned out of the attic? This way, we could clean it out on a
regular basis, and if someone wanted to restore the contents of the attic,
they could easily check out, say, "deleted", and copy the contents of
deleted/ports into their local ports tree. Or copy deleted/doc into their
doc tree.

Actually, I don't know enough about cvs to say whether this is easily
possible or not, but it's a thought.
