The last sentence made me stop reading and read the paragraph twice and
half.  Perhaps it would make it easier to read if we make it

	(there is no option to remove a file only from work tree and keep
	it in the index; use regular "/bin/rm" if you want to do that).

a parenthesized note as the tail part of the previous sentence?

Perhaps add "This can be overridden with the `-f` option" here?
