+NAME
+----
+git-rm - Remove files from the working tree and from the index
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git rm' [-f | --force] [-n] [-r] [--cached] [--ignore-unmatch]
+	  [--quiet] [--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]]
+	  [--] [<pathspec>...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Remove files matching pathspec from the index, or from the working tree
+and the index. `git rm` will not remove a file from just your working
+directory. (There is no option to remove a file only from the working
+tree and yet keep it in the index; use `/bin/rm` if you want to do
+that.) The files being removed have to be identical to the tip of the
+branch, and no updates to their contents can be staged in the index,
+though that default behavior can be overridden with the `-f` option.
+When `--cached` is given, the staged content has to
+match either the tip of the branch or the file on disk,
+allowing the file to be removed from just the index. When
+sparse-checkouts are in use (see linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1]),
+`git rm` will only remove paths within the sparse-checkout patterns.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+<pathspec>...::
+	Files to remove.  A leading directory name (e.g. `dir` to remove
+	`dir/file1` and `dir/file2`) can be given to remove all files in
+	the directory, and recursively all sub-directories, but this
+	requires the `-r` option to be explicitly given.
++
+The command removes only the paths that are known to Git.
++
+File globbing matches across directory boundaries.  Thus, given two
+directories `d` and `d2`, there is a difference between using
+`git rm 'd*'` and `git rm 'd/*'`, as the former will also remove all
+of directory `d2`.
++
+For more details, see the 'pathspec' entry in linkgit:gitglossary[7].
+
+-f::
+--force::
+	Override the up-to-date check.
+
+-n::
+--dry-run::
+	Don't actually remove any file(s).  Instead, just show
+	if they exist in the index and would otherwise be removed
+	by the command.
+
+-r::
+        Allow recursive removal when a leading directory name is
+        given.
+
+\--::
+	This option can be used to separate command-line options from
+	the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
+	for command-line options).
+
+--cached::
+	Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index.
+	Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be
+	left alone.
+
+--ignore-unmatch::
+	Exit with a zero status even if no files matched.
+
+--sparse::
+	Allow updating index entries outside of the sparse-checkout cone.
+	Normally, `git rm` refuses to update index entries whose paths do
+	not fit within the sparse-checkout cone. See
+	linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] for more.
+
+-q::
+--quiet::
+	`git rm` normally outputs one line (in the form of an `rm` command)
+	for each file removed. This option suppresses that output.
+
+--pathspec-from-file=<file>::
+	Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
+	`<file>` is exactly `-` then standard input is used. Pathspec
+	elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
+	quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
+	(see linkgit:git-config[1]). See also `--pathspec-file-nul` and
+	global `--literal-pathspecs`.
+
+--pathspec-file-nul::
+	Only meaningful with `--pathspec-from-file`. Pathspec elements are
+	separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken
+	literally (including newlines and quotes).
+
+
+REMOVING FILES THAT HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE FILESYSTEM
+--------------------------------------------------------
+There is no option for `git rm` to remove from the index only
+the paths that have disappeared from the filesystem. However,
+depending on the use case, there are several ways that can be
+done.
+
+Using ``git commit -a''
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you intend that your next commit should record all modifications
+of tracked files in the working tree and record all removals of
+files that have been removed from the working tree with `rm`
+(as opposed to `git rm`), use `git commit -a`, as it will
+automatically notice and record all removals.  You can also have a
+similar effect without committing by using `git add -u`.
+
+Using ``git add -A''
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When accepting a new code drop for a vendor branch, you probably
+want to record both the removal of paths and additions of new paths
+as well as modifications of existing paths.
+
+Typically you would first remove all tracked files from the working
+tree using this command:
+
+----------------
+git ls-files -z | xargs -0 rm -f
+----------------
+
+and then untar the new code in the working tree. Alternately
+you could 'rsync' the changes into the working tree.
+
+After that, the easiest way to record all removals, additions, and
+modifications in the working tree is:
+
+----------------
+git add -A
+----------------
+
+See linkgit:git-add[1].
+
+Other ways
+~~~~~~~~~~
+If all you really want to do is to remove from the index the files
+that are no longer present in the working tree (perhaps because
+your working tree is dirty so that you cannot use `git commit -a`),
+use the following command:
+
+----------------
+git diff --name-only --diff-filter=D -z | xargs -0 git rm --cached
+----------------
+
+SUBMODULES
+----------
+Only submodules using a gitfile (which means they were cloned
+with a Git version 1.7.8 or newer) will be removed from the work
+tree, as their repository lives inside the .git directory of the
+superproject. If a submodule (or one of those nested inside it)
+still uses a .git directory, `git rm` will move the submodules
+git directory into the superprojects git directory to protect
+the submodule's history. If it exists the submodule.<name> section
+in the linkgit:gitmodules[5] file will also be removed and that file
+will be staged (unless --cached or -n are used).
+
+A submodule is considered up to date when the HEAD is the same as
+recorded in the index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked
+files that aren't ignored are present in the submodules work tree.
+Ignored files are deemed expendable and won't stop a submodule's work
+tree from being removed.
+
+If you only want to remove the local checkout of a submodule from your
+work tree without committing the removal, use linkgit:git-submodule[1] `deinit`
+instead. Also see linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for details on submodule removal.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+`git rm Documentation/\*.txt`::
+	Removes all `*.txt` files from the index that are under the
+	`Documentation` directory and any of its subdirectories.
++
+Note that the asterisk `*` is quoted from the shell in this
+example; this lets Git, and not the shell, expand the pathnames
+of files and subdirectories under the `Documentation/` directory.
+
+`git rm -f git-*.sh`::
+	Because this example lets the shell expand the asterisk
+	(i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it
+	does not remove `subdir/git-foo.sh`.
+
+BUGS
+----
+Each time a superproject update removes a populated submodule
+(e.g. when switching between commits before and after the removal) a
+stale submodule checkout will remain in the old location. Removing the
+old directory is only safe when it uses a gitfile, as otherwise the
+history of the submodule will be deleted too. This step will be
+obsolete when recursive submodule update has been implemented.
