This change still isn't appropriate.  Imported files still _shouldn't_ 
be moved out of the Attic when any revision exists on the trunk.  That 
should be reported as a conflict and resolved during a merge step.  A 
merge should put the correct version on the trunk and move the file out 
of the Attic on commit.

That, or we need to resolve those other issues we've been discussing, 
mainly, what it really means when an import occurs with revisions on the 
trunk, when such issues should be resolved by assuming that the import 
should set the head revision, and how exactly that should happen.
