actually, I built from cvs last night for my test, and it still did that.

I totally agree. that's how I expected it to work.

as you point out, there are lots of issues with updating/removing files. 
seems like right now, the --increm feature is best used with some kind 
of external script/db that can keep track of what you want to 
update/remove, based on whatever logic you want to use. the -u/-r 
feature right now only does what you tell it to. there's no real 
"intelligence" behind it, that I can see anyway.
