Even though I am not sure how often I would use it myself, "reflect only the removals in the working tree to the index, but exclude any other kind of changes" might turn out to be a useful addition to the toolchest in certain cases. I however am not yet convinced that "git rm -u" is a good way to express the feature at the UI. "git add -u" is "update the index with modification and removal but ignore new files because we won't know if they are garbage or assets". What the same "-u" option means in the context of "git rm" is not very clear, at least to me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
