Documentation
//! `mkit rm <pathspec>...` — remove paths from the worktree and stage
//! the deletion for the next commit.
//!
//! Mirrors `git rm`:
//!
//! - default — stage the deletion AND delete the worktree file(s);
//! - `--cached` — stage the deletion only, leaving the worktree intact;
//! - `-r/--recursive` — required to remove a directory's entries;
//! - `-f/--force` — override the safety guard that refuses to destroy a
//!   tracked file whose worktree content differs from the staged blob.
//!
//! Multiple pathspecs may be given. The safety guard reuses the same
//! "don't clobber user work" spirit as the #176 restore guards: a
//! tracked-but-modified file is not deleted without `--force`.
