Actually, this isn't entirely true.  One can safely kill the files
moved to the attic, wait a short period of time, repo copy the old
stuff back (assuming that all files so copied have a higher rev
number, which you can easily force) and then do the mods from that
point.

That's why people say it is a pain, because it is. :-)

It gets much worse if therea re any "real" tags on the files removed,
but in this case that doesn't matter.
