'p4 revert -a' works for files opened for edit but not modified. Is there a way to make it work for files opened for add, but that do not exist?

In otherwords, I would like to

rm -f foo bar p4 add foo bar touch foo p4 revert -a # (bar is removed from the changelist, as if it was never there) p4 submit # (only foo is submitted)

p4 submit complains heavily if you try to submit a file that does not exist.

i think I can script something that does this, but it would be clumsy.
