'cvs rm' can be applied to files already removed from workdir only. However, 'cvs rm -f' can be applied to any file in workdir (and it will be removed).

Sadly, bashcomp for 'cvs rm' doesn't support the '-f' switch and therefore autocompletes removed files only. This makes using the bashcomp more painful than beneficial.

This one seems to be fixed upstream.
