I have played around with some more. It is more complicated than the
simple case I described.  Earlier I noticed a message about applying a
patch that was empty that shouldn't have been. I checked and the patch
is indeed empty. The empty patch probably caused the files to be left.
I had been using hide/unide and reordering with on the patch and had
encountered a couple errors in stg. I'll try and track down the
sequence that caused the contents of the patch to be lost.
