Description (last modified by zooko)

From #776 (comment:4):

Have tahoe rm or tahoe unlink output a message such as "n directory entries removed from $DIRCAP-or-PATH (tahoe unlink does not delete files)."

The "$DIRCAP-or-PATH" part should be just echoing back whatever part of the command-line specified the directory from which to unlink, so if the command line was "tahoe unlink fooalias:path/to/dir/child.txt" then it should say "1 directory entry removed from 'fooalias:path/to/dir/'".

  • Description modified (diff)

Adding keyword forward-compatibility because we want to put out a release with this fixed in it before putting out a release that removes the "rm" command entirely (#1827).
