No, it doesn't restore any deleted files.

So I guess this means there is no direct analogy for `cvs/svn update'.
Which is fine and I can understand why (deleting counts as a local
change, like modifying a file). But it would have been nicer to have
it more prominently explained, as requested in

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/191466

Anyway, the real lesson here is that in place of:

rm foo
cvs up foo

I should use

bzr revert --no-backup foo
