[tahoe-dev] CLI mkdir inverse?

[Peter Secor]

Ah, if you are trying to remove an alias, that is a slightly different 
story. In effect, it seems you would be asking to remove the root cap 
from nowhere, which might very well provide an exception. I'm not too 
knowledgeable about this part of the codebase, so I'll let somebody else 
clarify if they can.
