It might be a little tricky, as I suspect the code is starting from the set of tracked files, and then applying the arguments of pathspecs (but I didn't look too carefully, so I might be wrong). The "git clean" command is made for this (and starts by iterating over the filesystem), and does exactly what you want. But I guess you are hoping for a state where you can just run "git rm" without having to think about whether the file is tracked or not. -Peff
