I'm in the 1%, too.
Perhaps that's because of my OS being Windows and me being a Fossil newbie.
Maybe me and my co-workers aren't exemplars of The Average Fossil User
(current and future) but typing commands in a shell is not our common
approach to move or delete files.
Reference point are files on a harddrive actually belonging to a
specific software project which are managed and altered via IDE and file
browser and afterwards confirmed (not performed) in fossil.
Fossil should not interfere with that worklflow.
I'd prefer that default `rm`/`mv` without options leave my file system
alone. A `--forcefilesytem` flag would be a convenient enhancement.

BTW: As soon as I started exploring Fossil I startet developing a GUI
application to comfortably operate Fossil. My GUI is much alike Paul's
`fcommit`.

so, I would second the OP's request to make fossil behave
essentially like svn (or hg) regarding `mv' and `rm'. I'm quite sure
that would be the better behaviour in the overwhelming number of use
cases (i.e. right now I would guess that in 99 out of 100 cases
`fossil mv/rm' is followed by the corresponding os-level command, so
...).

I prefer _not_ to use the command line. So if I want to move a file or
directory I usually do that with a file browser. Same for deleting.
When I eventually come to doing a check-in, renamed/deleted files show
up in
the missing tab of my fcommit GUI (*), and it's then, using the GUI, that I
tell fossil what I've done, and then I commit.
If fossil mv also moves files on a filesystem, I'd be happy with that,
so long
as I can still use a file browser as I'm doing now.
If I want to move a file on my hard drive, I think I should be able to
do it
however I like, whether it's managed by a version control system or not.

Paul
