We aren't working on those files. We're using the "Private Workspace" 
SCM pattern: each project has it's own branch.
1. The project merges modifications from HEAD to their branch (with CVS 
up -j).
2. Then someone removes the file in the HEAD branch.
3. The project merges modifications from HEAD again, but the file is 
not removed.

So the different revision numbers are the result of merge and not 
actual modifications.

I'm suggest adding the following condition the the remove:
"If last revision of the file (we're merging into) was a result of a 
merge from HEAD, and file removed on HEAD then remove it on Project 
branch."
