Sorry, this is hard self explanatory. It's a bit like something like 
"bzr add --new". Does "bzr rm" remove the file from the inventory and
passing --delete will also remove it from disk or the other way around? 
"bzr forget" and "bzr remove" or "bzr forget [--remove]" would make
much more sense imho.
