In the previous behavior, "git-rm --cached" (without -f) had the same restriction as "git-rm". This forced the user to use the -f flag in situations which weren't actually dangerous, like:
$ git add foo # oops, I didn't want this $ git rm --cached foo # back to initial situation
Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With --cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.
