If I do:

fossil rm some/file.txt
rm some/file.txt
...do stuff...
fossil update

then some/file.txt is resurrected which is really really annoying when you
just got your build to work and then because files that shouldn't be there
suddenly reappear and things break.

I can see where might be some controversy in the behavior of fossil update
in this situation. Is there a good practice that avoids the hassle from the
files coming back? I've been telling folks to update often to stay in sync
and in this case that can cause annoyance and time wasting.

The one possible methodology I can see is to use stash but it seems both
overly complicated and actually this behavior seems to violate this phrase
in the fossil update help "Any uncommitted changes are retained and applied
to the new checkout." :

fossil rm some/file.txt
rm some/file.txt
...do stuff...
fossil stash
fossil update
fossil stash pop
