Of course, that's one of the main reasons for using a revision control
system! When you "remove" a file, CVS doesn't remove it from the
repository, it just moves it into a less conspicuous location (the
"Attic") and adds a "dead" revision (so that it knows that the file
should not be created if someone refers to that particular revision).
