I don't see why add and rm hints should be correlated, or I don't have
the same advice as you in mind.

$ git add foo.txt
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
foo.txt
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added

$ git rm foo.txt=20
error: 'foo.txt' has changes staged in the index
(use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal)

Both have completely different meanings: the first is about .gitignore,
and the second about not loosing data.
