Are there > conditions when this is *not* true? (i.e. *my* removes aren't > going to the Attic). Remember, the file in the CVS repository doesn't get changed until you do a "cvs commit" too. I suspect that is the cause of what you're (not) seeing. Also (I think this is right): Whether a file in the repository is in the Attic or not depends on the state of the head revision on the main (or default) branch. If you are working in another branch and do a remove, the file won't go into the Attic. In other words, a file can be "live" on some branches and "dead" on others. Attic residency is determined only by the state of the latest version on the main (or default) branch. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
