If the user want to store some history information, is should record it.
If it has undone some change before recording, that change should not be
shown in the patch.

Why is there the need to do

  hunk ./file 1
  -file

before 

  rmfile ./file

?

Couldn't rmfile store in itself the content of the removed file?  I
think this would solve this problem.

Please reply to me, since I'm not on the list.

Greetings.
