I've always used "Override and Update" in CVS, which replaces managed
resources with the latest version in the repo and also deletes any
unmanaged resources (at least if the "remove unmanaged resources on
replace" option is set. Not sure if it does it generally). At least,
that is the behaviour in the synchronize view. Not sure if I've ever
used for anything else.
I initially intended to add this option to subclipse, but then saw
that "override and update" already existed, but not in the same form.
