hgext/share.py

Add a forget command for easily untracking files.

This command does exactly what 'hg remove -Af [FILES]' does.

The reason for creating a new command is that the options for 'hg remove'
are confusing (-A removes only deleted files, -f forces deletion, and using
both means *the exact opposite of both*).
