 2.2.4 The attic
 ---------------
 
 You will notice that sometimes CVS stores an RCS file in the `Attic'.
 For example, if the CVSROOT is `/usr/local/cvsroot' and we are talking
 about the file `backend.c' in the directory `yoyodyne/tc', then the
 file normally would be in
 
      /usr/local/cvsroot/yoyodyne/tc/backend.c,v
 
 but if it goes in the attic, it would be in
 
      /usr/local/cvsroot/yoyodyne/tc/Attic/backend.c,v
 
 instead.  It should not matter from a user point of view whether a file
 is in the attic; CVS keeps track of this and looks in the attic when it
 needs to.  But in case you want to know, the rule is that the RCS file
 is stored in the attic if and only if the head revision on the trunk
 has state `dead'.  A `dead' state means that file has been removed, or
 never added, for that revision.  For example, if you add a file on a
 branch, it will have a trunk revision in `dead' state, and a branch
 revision in a non-`dead' state.
