remove---Remove an entry from the repository

remove [-lR] [files...]
Requires: Working directory.
Changes: Working directory.
Synonyms: rm, delete

Use this command to declare that you wish to remove files from the source repository. Like most cvs commands, `cvs remove' works on files in your working directory, not directly on the repository. As a safeguard, it also requires that you first erase the specified files from your working directory.

The files are not actually removed until you apply your changes to the repository with commit; at that point, the corresponding rcs files in the source repository are moved into the Attic directory (also within the source repository).

This command is recursive by default, scheduling all physically removed files that it finds for removal by the next commit. Use the `-l' option to avoid this recursion, or just specify the actual files that you wish removed.
