Re: [corona-dev] Model Change

No, those files weren't removed.

While removing a file through a CVS it is not removed from repository. It is still there. But if you check out a new copy, it is not downloaded. But if you refer to some revision or tag, then it is available.

Technically the removed files are moved to "Attic" directory. You can see such case here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/org.eclipse.corona/incubator/org.eclipse.corona.model.container/src/org/eclipse/corona/model/container/

The real problem in CVS is with directories - once they are created, they cannot be removed. But subversion has ability to not only remove but also rename them. Hopefully Eclipse will switch to subversion one day. And from last commiter announcement it seems they think about it.

I think the rule in CVS is once in always in, because if someone wants
to build the older code in CVS those files would be required.  So, they
won't be deleted in CVS but they should be removed by the
synchronization process from your local system.
