I consider deleteunreferenced a normal maintaince command that should
not break things. If someone does not want things deleted at all,
having that command delete things is therefor a bit problematic in my
eyes. (And I do not want to check if allowing this to be run with
keepunreferenced causes any funny effects in the general code).
I've changed the error message to suggest running with
'--nokeepunreferencedfiles' in case one really want to delete things.
Is that an acceptable compromise for you?
Hochachtungsvoll,
