Re: git rm --cached

2. The FAQ entry "Why 'git rm' is not inverse of 'git add'" says "a
natural inverse of 'add' is 'un-add', and that operation is called 'rm
--cached',..."  Now I realize that only applies to adding a new file,
but not changes on an existing file.

Well, so it seem that to think of "git rm --cached" as inverse to 
"git add" is also confusing. The FAQ entry should probably be
rewrite. Or at least clarified.
