Pinning semantics slightly confusing. #590

while working with pinning to test out the gc command, i ran into a few issues that revolved around understanding the pinning system, for example:

ipfs add afile                # adds and pins the file recursively
ipfs pin ls                     # wont show the recently added file
ipfs pin ls -type=all     #will show the file
ipfs pin rm <afile hash> # will say it unpinned the file
ipfs pin ls -type=all     # still shows the file
ipfs pin rm -r <afile hash> # actually unpins the file

I dont think its immediately apparent what the right thing to do to accomplish a given task is, the UX here needs some thought.
