I would say this is not only a bit dangerous, but very dangerous. It is easy
to run a command that will inadvertently delete files, not notice it, and do
a “fossil commit”. OK, old versions are still in the repository but this is
annoying.

replace "no such file" with something like "It looks like the file

I would rather prefer having one message for multiple missing files, instead
of N messages for N files. For example, list the missing files, and then
say: “those files seem to be missing. Do you want to remove them in the
current branch?

don't show SQLITE messages unless the user wants to see them, since they are

It would still be useful in some user runs into an obscure bug, and normally
they should not show up.
