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. Friendly, Sven Luther
