On a related note, I keep running into a problem managing third party
sources. Sometimes we will get a drop of a source tree and some of
the files have been deleted i.e. they are not present in the import
(any more). When I import and then update a workspace, the missing
files are not removed.
Is there any way to make this happen automatically. I can see that
it is a thorny problem in the general case, but it also seems that
for this common case there might be something if only I could find
it...
