Make that "drop-on-the-floor-so-the-dog-eats-it".

I'm in full agreement with David on any name that doesn't clearly
indicate that something destructive is being specified (unless, of
course, it isn't destructive, which more or less restricts you to
"unpull" :-).  Revision control systems are presumed to be
nondestructive, so I think it should be made really clear.
