So it's something Tortoise does then.
Well, I have never used Tortoise so I cannot say anything about it.

I don't use the edit-commit or edit-unedit cycle myself, but from what
I have read the unedit is supposed to revert any edits that have been
done to a file by returning the cached file copy in the CVS folder.
But for a newly added file thta was not edited in the first place that
is kind of hard, I guess...
