Almost, here's a full sequence with explanation.   After a 'cvs rm'
the local CVS/Entries file is changed but not the repository.  Then
after a 'cvs commit', the repository file bin_digit.c,v is moved
to a newly created (if it did not exist) directory and the local 
CVS/Entries file no longer has the bin_digit.c entry.  After the
cvs add, only the CVS/Entries files has the entry.  After a 
'cvs commit' or 'cvs ci', the CVS repository moves the Attic
file back (only if it is the same name) and increments the 
revision number, then updates your CVS/Entries file to
reflect the new revision number.

In the repository, the files are RCS files and end with a ',v'  The Attic
file only existed in that time frame after the remove and before
adding the new one of the same name.

Sometimes announcing before commiting is good in a team
environment.  If anyone is heavily pounding on the code then
they can also let you know.
 
For those users who prefer a GUI interface the jCVS Java 
interface runs on all platforms with JDK1 and JDK2.  The 
WinCVS runs on Windows and uses Tcl/TK for macros.
