Aha. I was trying

    git-ls-files -d | xargs git rm --cached

but most removed files contains spaces in their names, and that screwed git-rm up. I've even noticed the -z option on git-ls-files, but couldn't find one on git-rm, and I completely forgot about git-update-index.

Thanks, Johannes. This should do the trick.
