Even though I admit I do not deeply care, as I never use 'git rm' myself, I do not necessarily agree with "because" part.

I suspect people are by now accustomed to see the assuring feedback from the command when used this way:

	$ git rm -r one
        rm 'one/1'
        rm 'one/2'
        rm 'one/3'

and even in non-recursive case, expect the similar output for consistecy's sake.
