Is it actually an uppercase 'i' from 'ignored'? It looks a lot like
lowercase 'L'.
I'd better avoid mixing lowercase and uppercase character in an option name.

> + {"rm-?", opt_remove_unversioned, 0, NULL},

Beware that in a shell command line the '?' is the pattern that
matches any single character.

I think It does not lead to any real problems (as
a) this feature is for human users typing a command line and
encountering a matching filename is unlikely.
b) In a programmatic script somebody can always use the long option
name to avoid ambiguity),

but it looks unusual,
