Thank you, it's exactly what I was looking for.

If I was mad enough, I'd use git-update-index --add instead of git-add.
I'll have to reacquaint with git low-level commands anyway.

It's weird that there's git-add, yet no git-remove.
The only difference is the exclude file handling (not a problem with remove)
and doing global changes when no parameters are given.

Actually, I don't like the second property that much.
I'd prefer an explicit -a for --all. But it's probably for CVS users sake, right?
