Yep, definitely a bug.  bfstatus and bfput are both doing the wrong
thing, most likely for the wrong reason.

I don't have time to look into this right now, so I've opened a bug:
http://bitbucket.org/gward/hg-bfiles/issue/15/bfput-after-bfremove-does-nothing.

OK, from that it sounds like bfstatus and bfput are doing a bad job of
extracting the status represented by the filesystem.  The docs are
IMHO correct in this case: bfstatus should report "BPC": big file,
pending upload, clean (no commit required).

Thanks for the bug report!
