Thats why I wait for you folks to load the gun :-).  I can't do much
damage if you hand me an empty one :-) :-).

Basically is what I do is save all cvs commit operations that involve
a cvs remove of a file.  I first look locally in my copy of ~ncvs and
see if there are tags on the file(s) removed.  If I don't see any tags
on it I leave the commit mail in my mail folder.  About twice a week I go
and look at what has piled up in my mail folder and go blast the
stuff out of the Attic.

I have daily back up tapes of the ~ncvs tree that go back to 4/12, after
tomarrow morning I am going to have to start writting over them though :-(.

Don't worry about me blasting the wrong code, it would take 2 people to
remove this stuff from cvs.  First someone else must do the cvs remove,
I only muck around in the Attic areas.  

You may occasionally see me put a file into the Attic if I need to
do manual repairs (ie, vi the file) to fix some problem like screwed
up tags.  I do this so that no one can commit to the file while I
work on it, and/or no one gets the half edited version I am working
with.
