Hello Tony,

  it is not possible to get the following situation solved:
  
  User A deletes file with version 1.3
  -- cvs remove test.txt
  -> cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently

  User B commits changes to test.txt so we have now version 1.4 on the
  server

  User A tries to commit removed file test.txt
  -- cvs commit -m deleted test.txt
  -> cvs server: Up-to-date check failed for `test.txt'

  User A tries to update
  -- cvs update test.txt
  -> cvs server: conflict: removed test.txt was modified by second party
     C testtext.txt

  So user A tries to get the clean copy
  -- cvs update -C test.txt
  -> cvs server: conflict: removed test.txt was modified by second party
     C testtext.txt


  No success...
  The only way for clearing this situation is to delete the respective
  line from CVS/Entries and do an update afterwards :-(
  
  server and client build 2088
