When you commit the removal of the file, CVS records the fact that the file no longer exists. It is possible for a file to exist on only some branches and not on others, or to re-add another file with the same name later.
Command: cvs remove [options] files Schedule file s to be removed from the repository files which have not already been removed from the working directory are not processed. This command does not actually remove the file from the repository until you commit the removal. For a full list of options, see section Quick reference to CVS commands. For example, the above example could also be done like this:.

If you realize your mistake before you run the remove command you can use update to resurrect the file:. When you remove a file it is removed only on the branch which you are working on see section Branching and merging.
