When I pull (with -m) a branch that has accepted a patch of mine which deletes a file, stgit does the right thing wrt detecting the applied patch, etc. But it leaves an untracked copy of the deleted file in my working directory, which I get to delete.

I suspect this file should be deleted -- but isn't -- by the patch merge detection code that undoes the application of the reverse of my patch.
