Maybe because it *is* common? :-)

As a former CVS user, now dabbling in both arch and subversion, I'm used to
thinking about three different ways in which my files can be out of sync 
with another
set of files:

a. Some properties (including content) of my or their files have changed
b. One or more files have been removed from my or their space
c. One or more new files have been added to my or their space

It's just a bit disorienting to find that arch doesn't always respond to 
b. Although, as
several folk have shown, it can clearly be *made* to respond.  But this 
is a minor
gotcha that CVS'ers need to watch out for. (And maybe one that could be 
recognized
as arch develops?)
