See "git add -u", which will update the status of all already-tracked files in paths you specify. Note that this will also stage changes in modified files. If you truly want to just mark all removed files, you can do something like: git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
