No UI for 'Remove' command

[Greg]

Formerly Question.... How do I unversion a file?

I do this quite frequently when not paying attention... I accidentally add a file to version control then realize it is a dynamic file that should not have been versioned.

My current work around looks like:

1) Copy the file (using OS)
2) Revert the file (if modified, using BZR Explorer)
3) Delete the file (using BZR Explorer)
4) Commit (using BZR Explorer)
5) Rename copied file (using OS)
6) Set ignore that file (using BZR Explorer, will always be an extra step)

So quite a lot of work for an Oops!

I am not familiar with BZR commands to know how to unversion without deleting the file. Perhaps 'bzr rm --keep filename' might work? Whichever way I will be most pleased to not have to learn commands.

Now available via the context menu in Browse. Alternatively, use the Advanced Commands action.

I use Bazaar Explorer 1.2.1 and can't find that menu entry. There is only remove which removes the file from branch and tree.
I always have to manually run bzr remove --keep file

Can someone show me how to do this in Bazaar Explorer?

I don't see an option for it, only 'remove'.

It should be pretty easy to add by copying the remove code, if you
want to try. I would suggest calling it 'unversion'.

Maybe we need qremove simple dialog to allow user select action: unversion file and keep it on disk, or remove completelly.
