  cvs commit will remove the file from the CVS archives, but NOT delete the 
file locally.  If you do a cvs commit, it will simply put a ? next to the 
filename, as it doesn;t know the status of it, becouse it is no longer in CVS.  
The ONLY way a new file get's added to CVS is if you do a cvs add on the 
file/dir.  Just becouse a file is there, does NOT mean it is in CVS 
automagically..
