That's because "hg forget" didn't work well: new word, nonstandard,
nonintuitive.
How about "hg unadd"? It is extremely simple, intuitive, and
(should be) 100% safe. It is a meaningful name, and one that
some people would naturally try without even reading documentation.
"hg unremove" could serve a similar purpose.
The tradeoff is command clutter, but IMHO the benefit is much
less user confusion.
