[BUG?] ls-files -d does not show files removed using 'git rm'

If I remove a file using the shell rm, it is listed by ls-files -d. However, it is not listed if I use 'git rm'.

$ rm foo $ git ls-files -t -d R foo $ git checkout foo $ git rm foo rm 'foo' $ git ls-files -t -d $

Is this a bug? In any case, is there a way to find out what files have been removed using git rm using ls-files (git status does show it)?
