 From #776 ([comment:4:ticket:776 comment:4]):

 Have tahoe rm or tahoe unlink output a message such as "n directory
 entries removed from $DIRCAP-or-PATH (tahoe unlink does not delete
 files)."

 The "$DIRCAP-or-PATH" part should be just echoing back whatever part of
 the command-line specified the directory from which to unlink, so if the
 command line was "tahoe unlink fooalias:path/to/dir/child.txt" then it
 should say "1 directory entry removed from 'fooalias:path/to/dir/'".

Comment (by zooko):

 Adding keyword {{{forward-compatibility}}} because we want to put out a
 release with this fixed in it before putting out a release that removes
 the "rm" command entirely (#1827).
