What I failed to mention is that if you are not using "commit -a" then
you will find the git-mv command to be convenient for the case of
renaming a file and also updating git's index.

I still don't see any convenience in git for removing a file and
noting that in the index. Obviously, it's possible to do it, but the
commands are a bit cumbersome:

	rm some-file
	git update-index --remove some-file
