But the function that the current method provides is one that's really
needed sometimes. I.e., "don't keep track of this file anymore". I like
that that's convenient, too.

So, for what little it's worth, I'd like fossil mv and fossil rm to
really perform the file system operations by default, and let me access
the current behavior with the --keep flag.

If that's not acceptable, let them keep their current default function,
but add a --do or --force flag to make them work on the filesystem, too.

I agree with Jeremy's proposal to prompt before destroying work that
hasn't been committed (and the consequent necessity of the --force
option).
