Hi All,
Why does the "Delete" command on the context menu of a file in Eclipse
mark the file for removal from the CVS repository?
I would expect that the "Delete" command removes the file from the file
system and there should be a command in the context menu under Team ->
Remove file from Repository. Why is this not done this way ... is there a
good reason?

If you change a file, you don't need to tell Team that you explicitly
changed it, the synchronize knows this. It is the same for delete, you
"changed" the file by getting rid of it, so the synchronize nows says
get rid of it on CVS. It is also the same for add, you don't explicitly
add a file to CVS, you simply create it in your project and the next
time you synchronize it gets added.
The purpose of synchronize is to get your project and the CVS in sync
with each other, which includes all new files, all changed files, and
all removed files.

That is EXACTLY what you are telling it to do.
Again, when you delete a file from a directory that is managed by CVS,
you are telling CVS that you want to delete it from the repository. That
is how CVS works.
There is no command "Remove from Repostitory" because there is no CVS
command "Remove file from repository". In order to do that, you must
delete the file from the filesystem and execute a "commit".
