I want to remove certain files from the index of a git repository, but retain them in the directory.They should be removed from all branches, that is, when finished they should exist as untracked files. I tried using git filter-branch with git-rm --cached, as described in https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data/, however, that removed them from the directory. I could restore the files (from the original, I'm working in a clone, of course), but am wondering why git-rm --cached removed the working files.
