It's not 100% clear to me what you mean, but you seem to be saying that if 
you use "list -od", you don't see both old and deleted versions of files? 
Please could you demonstrate? I would expect that you would see both, and 
the code certainly seems to support that. If both options are given, and 
unless there is a subtle bug in the code, no files are excluded from the 
directory listing at all.

Cheers, Chris.
