Every time I use fossil mv/rm, I've always had to issue the corresponding
mv/rm command (or equivalent commands in Windows). Can someone describe a
case where one would want to call fossil mv/rm, without intending the
referenced file to be moved/removed as well? To me, making fossil mv/rm
perform the filesystem mv/rm as well would save me a step. Looking back,
this behavior would have saved me many steps.

I think it's a good thing if fossil reduces the amount of manual work that
we need to perform.
