I have a commit I am trying to cherry pick that removes a number of files. It seems to generate conflicts for those files that have been modified on this branch since the common ancestor. Since they are being removed, I don't care about what changes have been made on this branch, just remove them. Even git cherry-pick -Xtheirs does not help. How can I avoid these conflicts, or accept the deletions? I tried git add -u, but that seems to take my version rather than accept the deletion, and there is no -u switch to git rm.
