hg purge (copy move but don't delete)

Maybe I should describe my scenario in more detail. Suppose I want to
commit and push urgently some fix. 

Before I do, I just run 

hg status

And find out that there are some new files, which most likely I added
for testing. Adding them would maybe add garbage to the repo, but just
deleting them might also not the right thing to do. I could now run a 
find together with a mv to some place outside the repo. But that looks
cumbersome.

But maybe there is nothing wrong with having files, which are not
registered. Just commit and push and then deal with these files later.
