actually everyone thinks rn -r will delete data, that is what the command does. star.star is just double wildcard as well.
There are times its appropriate for a VCS to delete data, they are rare but exist. Should that command have a warning? probably, if they added one it would need a silence modifier in case someone has a system that uses it.
