Hello,

I have a file that has been removed on a branch, but when I merge that 
branch into HEAD, the file on HEAD doesn't get removed. Instead, I get a 
message that says "cvs server: file Base.hpp has been modified, but has 
been removed in revision bGeDev". (See the update command below.)

The file is not modified on HEAD (see stat below). The only modifications 
are a few revisions on the branch after the last merge before the file got 
removed on the branch. But the last revision on the branch is dead (see log 
below). Yet, after the merge, the file in HEAD is untouched.

Can anybody explain why it doesn't merge the remove from the branch to 
HEAD?

Thanks,
Gerhard
