> 
> REL1 branch has a file named one.cc
> In REL2 branch you do not want to use one.cc any more. You do cvs remove one
> this file. And you creates two.cc instead that contains your new soloution. 
> File one.cc
> and two.cc 'resides' in the same directory.
> 
> In REL2: When you checkout your code with cvs checkout -P -D you will not get 
> your removed file one.cc
> which is OK. 
> In REL1: But when use the same checkout command in REL1 branch you will not 
> get the one.cc file either!!
> But this file i really want to use in this release.  
> 
> Of course it will function if you use cvs checkout -P but in this
> case I must know before doing the checkout if files that has been removed 
> should be visible in this branch or not.
> This is a problem.
