When I last encountered this problem, I attempted to copy the orginal
file from the revision library.

Unfortunately, I typed "mv" instead of "cp" and ended up with a broken
archive. Even worse, but tla didn't detect the revision library as
broken, and later tests showed that a commit would treat the file as a
new file when it wasn't a new file. However that is another unrelated
issue for another thread.

I think something is needed here to simplify removing changes from a
single file, because if it is too complicated it increases the chances
of making a mistake.
