That won't work properly.
You need to do a merge of vendor changes to the local branch. Only the
merge will detect removed (and revived) files.
What I always do (and I have ~1.5GB of 3rd-party code in over 200
modules, some very large including X11, *BSD, etc.) is keep a checked
out working directory (or create one _before_ I begin the import) and
then immediately after the import I do the following in that working
directory (using your examples above):
cvs update -j MAY01 -j SEP01 .
and I then clean-up, check, and commit the result....
