From: Mike Hommey Date: Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:23:13 GMT Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Don't always require working tree for git-rm Message-ID: <1194088993-25692-3-git-send-email-mh@glandium.org> In-Reply-To: <1194088993-25692-2-git-send-email-mh@glandium.org> This allows to do git rm --cached -r directory, instead of git ls-files -z directory | git update-index --remove -z --stdin. This can be particularly useful for git-filter-branch users.
