Huh. I've only tried cvs-inject to install new upstream sources once,
but when I did the join, it *did* remove the files that were no longer
present in the new upstream source. I checked, there were about three.
One real obvious one: COPYING became docs/COPYING. And the former was
removed automatically.
I have no idea why it didn't work for you, and to be quite frank, you've
made me a little nervous now. After the success of my first attempt, I
was planning to relax and enjoy using cvs-inject, but now I guess I'll
have to keep checking this sort of thing very carefully.
