Hi Malcom,
Hmm, ok, maybe I am missing something. Can you give an example? Do you mean that you removed something ( for example ) yesterday, and when you checkout using a timestamp from today, the removed file is not removed from your workspace? Or that it is updated, but not removed? I'll investigate it further if you can give me something I can reproduce on my end. It sounds like a bug, if anything like that is happening.
