The commit does still exists, you can find it in the reflog. This is
important if you for example commits a huge file and wants to remove it.
That commit needs to be gc:ed too, and this is dangerous...

It's a not common, but often asked, question on #git@freenode . And for
many it's hard to understand why a git rm doesn't shrink their repo.

Also consider that many git commands relies on eachother. For example
the submodule scripts uses git checkout, clone, etc.
