Correct. Using the log dialog to revert is usually easiest.

> i've tried everything and no matter what i do both the repository AND working folder still contain Xtrafiles.txt and the Revision# is still the same, and everything is Unmodified with No Chages To Commit.

If you roll back the changes on the folder (parent of xtra*.txt), the
files will be marked for deletion. I'm not sure right now, but I think
the files are still retained in your working copy and will become
unversioned when you commit.

The commit dialog should show the two files marked for deletion, and
provided they are checked they will be deleted (from the repository)
on commit.

If this doesn't solve you problem, please give a more detailed
description of how to reproduce it.

Simon
