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:

Too bad, I find it rather annoying and irritating.

Why not do the common thing, and add a "--quiet" option? You can even add 
a config variable to enable it by default (for git-rm). It's not like 
git-rm is performance critical...
