Subject: [PATCH] Proposed fix
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:37:10 -0300

Hi,

This bug is simple enough that it took only a one-liner to fix it.  I
believe it makes sense, because (as correctly pointed out by Daniel),
rm's manpage explicitly mentions that -I and --interactive=once should
be the same.

Tested here, without failures.  I already have commit access to the
GDB/binutils repo, so if you want to just extend my commit rights to
commit to the coreutils, that's fine too.

Thanks,

	* src/rm.c (main): Option "-I" should be markes as "sometimes
	interactive" (RMI_SOMETIMES).
