[issue1588] convert CVS: files deleted in CVS remain in converted tip

[Dickon Reed]

New submission from Dickon Reed <dickon at cantab.net>:

Using hg 1.2.1 I ran hg convert on a CVS repository, and then compared the new 
mercurial repository tip with the latest from CVS. Everything matched except 
that a couple of files that were in earlier CVS revisions but had been deleted 
somehow are still present in the Mercurial repository. Many other files deleted 
in CVS were also different in the Mercurial tip.

cvs log shows this output for one such file:

/local/dr/n/v5/src/driver/linux_net $ cvs log eeprom.c
