Re: 'Remove' and 'Commit' from/to the CVS repository

[N Garry]

I want to have all the control for any kind of deletion/removal.
My users in the past have accidentally deleted the entire source tree in a 
different version control system. There are ways to recover the deleted 
revisions, but I insist that the developers should send me the list of files 
to be removed from the repository instead of they doing it.
Well, they can check-in any garbage/e,pty files and I don't care as they can 
always make any prior version as head revision without any kind of 
administration task invloved.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks,
X3J
