Hi Jan,

This is something I have to do.  Sorry I didn't respond sooner.
For the record, I've done the following in an empty directory:

----------------------
git clone ~/mirror-git-to-cvs/repo/src
cd src && rm -rf gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk
cat <<\EOF > msg
maint: remove stray Insight files per request:

See this thread for details:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gdb.patches/61489/focus=63536

* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/ChangeLog: Remove file.
* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/browser.exp: Likewise.
* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/c_variable.exp: Likewise.
* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/console.exp: Likewise.
* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/cpp_variable.exp: Likewise.
* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/srcwin.exp: Likewise.
* gdb/testsuite/gdb.gdbtk/windows.exp: Likewise.
EOF
git ci -Fmsg -a
git push
----------------------

I'll let the regularly scheduled cvs-to-git sync propagate that
change to the public git repository along with whatever's happened
in the preceding 30 minutes.

Jim
