Well put. So Altu and Eric (and also Joe Mistachkin on a back-channel) have pretty much convinced me at this point to keep the current behavior of "fossil rm" and "fossil mv". But, should there be an opt-in option to also make the disk changes? Perhaps "fossil rm abc.txt" just removes abc.txt from configuration management, but "fossil rm -f abc.txt" also removes it from disk? And/or should there be a warning printed: "File abc.txt removed from management but unchanged on disk" just to give a heads-up to newcomers who expect different behavior? -- D.
