           Summary: hg purge should behave like rm, prompt by default
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature

I recently almost lost a day's worth of work with hg purge. Luckily I had an
emacs buffer with the file in it, but I think 'hg purge' should behave somewhat
like 'rm' and be a little less dangerous.

'hg purge' with no arguments in an interactive terminal should prompt before
deleting.
'hg purge' with file arguments, -I or -X flags should probably not prompt.
'hg purge' in a non-interactive terminal shouldn't prompt.

I haven't thought about BC constraints.
