} "cvs add" should complete not only files that are not currently in cvs,

These files are included in CVS/Entries in the form

	/filename/-version/date//tag

where the `-' before the version number is what marks them removed.  To
show these files for "cvs add", the pattern used to set the `omitpats'
array, in _cvs_nonentried_files() in Completion/Command/Unix/_cvs, has
to be modified to leave out lines matching the above format.

I think this should do it:

However, I'm not certain it's correct to treat removed files as nonentries
in all other cases, so it may really be necessary to create an entire other
function for this.  Any other zsh-workers have an opinion?  (Continue that
part of this thread on zsh-workers, please.)

} I also want to implement a semantic for opening / editing files, that
} is independent of the file type. That is, if I say "open a.html" it
} should open my preferred browser, and if I say "edit a.html" it could
} open my preferred editor. Is such a function already implemented?

Look at Functions/Example/zless for something similar.
