But using CVS, when you imported a new version, did it not automatically
add/remove the new/no more used files in that new version ? I think
subversion has also such a feature and if not, maybe if we ask politely,
such a thing could be added.
If not, there is always the possibly to use a little shell script
involving find and diff or something such, and do it ourself, or maybe
even a smallish ocaml program.
