cogito: linux-2.6 merge fails due to cg-rm

I guess it was bound to happen after reading rmk's issues. I finally had a working tree of mine fail to merge from linus' tree while doing a cg-update. I'm using cogito 0.8. I had to hand merge something due to DocBook Makefile changes but the real problem was in the set of files that were removed: Documentation/DocBook/tulip-user.tmpl Documentation/DocBook/via-audio.tmpl arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.h scripts/makeman scripts/split-man These kept showing up as "needs merged" even though I explicitly tried to cg-rm them or "update-cache --remove" them. It turns out that cg-rm is 'rm -f'ing the files before calling update-cache. By touching each file, and then modifying cg-rm as follows, I was able to complete the merge. I'm not sure yet if this is the proper fix to the cogito script. It at least made update-cache happy for this remove case. -Matt
