This is explicitely stated in the git-rm manpages: --cached:  Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index. Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be left alone.

The changes are "cached" in the "Index". But I wouldn't name the "Index" really a "Cache" because it is a lot more. All comments for --cached in the manpages mention the Index mechanism. Additionally there is a more detailed introduction to the Index in section 7 (Git concepts) of the Git User's Manual
