Remove is write - there's no remove operation since it's all handled 
client-side until you commit.. you can't really stop a determined client 
removing anyway.

Even if you blocked 'cvs remove' you could edit CVS/Entries to do the 
remove manually (put '-' in front of the filaneme) - that's all the 
client does anyway.

It's the same argument as for add.  You don't want to block such 
operations, but verify the commit in loginfo/commitinfo.
