Defuncting a file does two things, it places a marker in the RCS
file for the file marking the state of a particular Rev as "Defunct"
and adds the file to the logs/DEFUNCT file in the submit tree.
You can inspect the logs/DEFUNCT file directly.  If you do a
"blog" on the file, you can see the "State: Defunct" marker
(though it's harder to match the revs with the labels).
