This sort of thing has been observed before - a file somehow getting
committed to after it has been removed, and the new revisions being in the
Attic but not marked as dead so getting resurrected on branches. See e.g.
c-gperf.h. I don't know *how* the files got committed to after being
removed, but if you can reremove them on mainline (i.e., get a new
revision committed to the head of the ,v file, with no changes from the
previous one but state "dead") then that should fix the problem.
