is the helpful hint:

$ git-ls-files -d -m -o -z | xargs -0 git-update-index --add --remove

I've got the following aliases in my .gitconfig:

alias.addremove=!git-ls-files -d -m -o -z -X .git/info/exclude -X $(git-config core.excludesfile) --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore | xargs -0 git-update-index --add --remove

alias.ls=!git-ls-files -d -m -o -v -X .git/info/exclude -X $(git-config core.excludesfile) --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore

(In 1.5.4, you can replace the two -X's and the --exclude-per-directory with --exclude-standard.)
