As I have discovered since my post the files were disappearing as a result
of a problem in the TextArtifact.normalize() method. However some
organizations like to work in a mode where local copies of files are not
permitted unless the files are explicitly checked out. In this case, an
option to delete the workspace copy makes sense.
