Thank you very much for this patch.  I had no chance to test it before,
now I've tested it and it works as expected - now both rm(1) and rmdir(1)
behave correctly, and git rm works too.

It's interesting to note that it's been this way for several years
(when the change occured?), and there has been no complains so far... ;)

Thanks!
