We used to print that, because you actually had to run the output of
git-rm to get rid of the files before Git 1.5. Now that git-rm really
removes the files, it's not needed anymore.
Even though I admit I do not deeply care, as I never use 'git rm'
myself, I do not necessarily agree with "because" part.

I suspect people are by now accustomed to see the assuring feedback from
the command when used this way:

	$ git rm -r one
        rm 'one/1'
        rm 'one/2'
        rm 'one/3'
Heh. I didn't even know there was a recursive option.  So I'm definitely 
not 'accustomed' to any form of output.

If me being a data point helps at all.
