Additionally, is there
a simple procedure with git to say: "I want to version exactly what is
in my working tree.  If I removed something or added something, just
handle it".

From http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ch05.html#id2553633

is the helpful hint:

$ git-ls-files -d -m -o -z | xargs -0 git-update-index --add --remove

As long as your git is new enough to have git-add -u, you should be able to
do:

   $ git add .
   $ git add -u

and have the index match the working tree (keeping excludes out).
