If Fossil got that option, I’d probably forget that it existed a week after the
change went in. I’d end up saying something like
$ find . -type d -delete
instead.
One of the core issues here is the difficulty in making Fossil replicate POSIX
semantics exactly, because they’re fairly complicated. The same problem
plagues the symlink implementation, or at least did until recently. (I’m
unsure, having not exercised it since the recent redesign.)
If Fossil had a mkdir command, I’d expect it to have an rmdir command to go
with it, and then I’d *still* not expect rm to remove directories.
