RE: Committing changes to a deleted file (was: Can't change ascii /binary type of file)

Thanks, but regarding the second question "Or can
> he only update his workspace with the current repos meaning accept the
> previous file deletion?"...he should be able to do an update and that will
delete the original file copy from his workspace right?

I was able to get that to work from a WSAD client using CVS plug-in.

Ummmm... I don't see what this has to do with the subject line or the
previous discussion (hint: when you want to ask a question, compose a new
message, don't reply to an existing one), but the answers are no and no,
respectively.

The developer can re-add the deleted file and commit it.

*BUT*! There is a related issue that you must fix first. Your developers are
not communicating with each other - why is one developer deleting a file
that another one considers important? You should fix that problem *now*,
before any critical work gets lost.
