No, what Arch does is treat them the same. Undoing reverts properties, deletes new files, and restores deleted files.
Although, asseveral folk have shown, it can clearly be *made* to respond. But this is a minor gotcha that CVS'ers need to watch out for. (And maybe one that could be recognizedas arch develops?)
The problem is specifically that people are used to reverting file contents with "rm foo; cvs update". If we can get them to use "tla undo --" or "aba file-revert" or whatever, it'll be solved right.
(God, I've turned into one of those "fix the user" developers. But I swear it's right here)
