We had this problem a few days ago, and fortunately the file was under version control. But we looked for a solution that would rm into the trash. There was only one solution and it didn’t work in Leopard (10.5)
I mentioned this on Twitter, and my buddy Jason threw a working version of trash-aware-rm for OSX together in no time flat. Check it out.
