Isn't it just remove

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr help remove
usage: bzr remove FILE...
aliases: rm

Make a file unversioned.

This makes bzr stop tracking changes to a versioned file.  It does
not delete the working copy.



: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr init

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; touch a

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr add
added a

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr st
bzradded:
  a

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr remove a

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; ls
a

: [bagfors at zyrgelkwyt]$ ; bzr st
unknown:
  a
