Mails from people which are not subsribed are moderated. That means I
get an automated mail from the listserver asking if I want that mail to
be sent to the subscribers (the list). I had to do this since we got too
much SPAM - that way I just can ignore the SPAM mails so they don't get
through the list, but I can still allow "real" mails to go through.
It's more work for me, but just rejecting mails from non-subscribers
automatically isn't a very good idea either.

I most cases, yes - it doesn't make much sense. But sometimes you might
want to commit just the add and still keep the removed file in the
repository for a little while longer. If you don't know what that would
be useful for:
- you rename a file
- you start changing the code/files/scripts to reflect the newly renamed
file
- you commit, even though you know you haven't completely changed
everything to take care of the renamed file.
If you now committed the remove too, then all others who update their
working copy might have a broken build because you haven't changed
everything yet.
Once you're sure that everything works with the renamed file you can
then commit the delete.

I'll update the docs...
