Except you're not removing the file from the repository. The file -
and it's entire history - is still there. You might be able to abuse
shun to actually remove the file, but removing files from the
repository is hard by design.  What you're doing is causing future
checkouts to the file system to not include a version of that file.

You might argue that you're "removing" future versions from the
repository, but future != now to me.
