"monotone drop" works equally well on files that aren't in the repo
yet, as well, it undoes a "monotone add". :-)

For completeness, I'll mention that "monotone revert" will only work
on files that aren't in the repo yet, but it will undo either a
"monotone add" or a "monotone drop".  (If you try to undo a drop with
an add, monotone will think that you have just happened to create a
new file with a similar name to an old one, and merging will get
confused.)
