git-unadd anyone?

Is there an easy way to just unmark files wrongly marked as added?

I'm not thinking about something like git-reset --mixed,
which would discard the index as a whole.
I only want to unmark files I git-add(1)ed.

How about

	git update-index --force-remove <filename>


Best regards

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?
