Well, I had to pick one message to answer.... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! (there should be more "a"s) 1) Telling the operating system to delete a file from disk and telling the VCS that a file which is in the parent commit should not be in the next are two very different actions and I think they should be kept separate. 2) In hindsight perhaps re-using the Unix/Linux command names wasn't such a good idea. Would this thread be so out of hand if it had always been "fossil remove"? 3) As time has passed I have felt less and less comfortable in this list because there are more and more contributors here who want changes I don't like without providing any real argument at all beyond that some other system does it. So I have introduced that more general issue into this thread with a very specific (though misleading) subject. Sorry but thread-drift is natural (and is the same thing as conversation-drift which has always happened). 4) I am not criticizing people, merely what they say. I see evidence that they don't get where I'm coming from because they have only an incomplete idea of what this is all about. 5) SCM stands for Software Configuration Management which is not the same thing as version control. Look it up. You will possibly hate it, but if you ever write software that can affect real lives or large amounts of money you will need to know about it.

You have managed to put more venom towards me in those few words than there could ever have been in anything I said, and nothing I said was directed at you explicitly anyway. > . . . and you're an ass. Direct gratuitous insult. Well done.
