http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.15/cvs_18.html#SEC167 says that
new files will not have an archive file (Unless they're being resurrected),
and deleted files will not have a copy of the file in the current directory.
Now, how you're supposed to determine the file is not there is a bit
challenging - I guess your script will have to parse the CVS/Entries file,
and match up local files with entries in the CVS/Entries file.

I could be wrong, but I think you may be trying to stretch the capabilities
of commitinfo here. Remember, it was designed simply as a pre-commit check,
to see if it is acceptable to allow the checkin to proceed.
