This probably is a borderline with feaping creaturism. What's the use of
it in a real workflow that you need this for?

"git add -u" may be too broad in that it also adds anything modified, but so is --if-missing too broad in that it removes anything removed, and if
you are going to limit by giving pathspecs _anyway_, then...

Old timers might just do:

	git diff --name-only --diff-filter=D |
       git update-index --remove --stdin

;-)


Ah. This comes in handy. I already searched for a command to delete all missing files. After reading through the fine manual of 'git rm', I went
to git update-index but didn't come up with a solution to my problem.

But I have to say, an argument to 'git rm' would be preferable than the
above plumping.


Wouldn't:

git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)

do the trick, or am I missing something?

David
