you can delete the file... gunzip the metadata file, remove the entry for 
the deleted file, and gzip the metadata file.  naturally you need to do 
this for every older metadata file if you want to be able to restore from 
them... and also delete any relevant entries in increments/.

it's easy!  ;)
