Description

Hi.

I found this with rm(1) and the -f flag on master with a hammer file
system:

> mkdir foo
 > rm -rf foo
recursively remove foo?

I don't know if it has something to do with how hammer handles
directories?

Nope it has to do with rm being aliased to 'rm -I' by default.

Aha, thanks. Didn't think this "bug" was that simple to solve. I'll
remove it straight away, becase I want f to mean "just shut up and
remove it" :)
