Gitsters:

El Goog has the wrong answer for the question "how do I forget about a file?" 
Someone cheerfully directed me to git rm, as equivalent to svn rm.

I don't need the actual file to go away. (I, uh, mumble, checked in too much 
when starting out, and now git commit is slooow.)

How do I tell git to forget about a file, but leave on my hard drive?
