By the way, it was mentioned on IRC that the above is a bit odd for
a different reason: the option --no-all that maintains the old behavior
is not intuitively named.
How about something like this?
warning: "git add" run on path with files removed (e.g., '%s')
hint: use "git add --ignore-removals <pathspec>" to ignore removals
hint: or "git add --no-ignore-removals <pathspec>" to notice them
hint: --ignore-removals is the default but this will change soon
hint: see git-add(1) for details
Then the --ignore-removals option could be added using a patch like
the following.
