git rm profiles/package.mask

rm 'profiles/package.mask'
rm 'profiles/package.mask'
rm 'profiles/package.mask/gentoo.org'
rm 'profiles/package.mask/java-overlay'
rm 'profiles/package.mask/perl-experimental'
rm 'profiles/package.mask/regen2.org'
rm 'profiles/package.mask/sunrise'
fatal: git rm: profiles/package.mask: Is a directory

and git status still shows..

#       unmerged:   profiles/package.mask
