------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
You deleted an explicitly tagged file leaving

behind its tag.   The error message from `undo'

is quite correct and you could have responded

by using delete-id to remove the tag (after which

undo would work as expected).



File-find and file-diffs expect as an argument the

name of a file in the project tree.   Since you 

were using explicit tags (rather than tagline)

and since the tag was still there, you could have

simply `touch'ed the file to recreate it and gone 

from there.



It's not clear to me what alternatives you might

have in mind.

Summary:  Unable to recover from file-delete

Original Submission:  After deleting a file per accident from my checked-out 
prestine tree I notice that a number of commands fail.

tla undo fails with:
"These explicit ids have no corresponding file"

tla file-find fails with:
error finding file id (2: No such file or directory)

address@hidden:uicompiler$tla file-diffs build.xml
error finding file id (2: No such file or directory)

I'm guessing that the check for the id is going wrong since my tree is 
explicitly tagged..
