Re: "git rm" is not a valid merge resolution?

Please see my other mail - file deletion can also be done by "git add". 

So what?

While it technically is correct that "git add" can be asked to do so (and
no, forbidding "add -u" from noticing deletion or renaming the command to
stage to spread the confusion even more is out of the question), people
found that it is more natural to remove things with "rm", wished to have
that separate command, and the wish was granted.  We suggest its use when
it is appropriate.

What is your problem?
