By the way, aren't people disturbed that "git rm" does not
default to "-f" -- I rarely use the command myself but that
makes it feel even more awkward that "git rm foo" does not
remove the file "foo".

But _only_ if file is unmodified. I think that "git rm" meaning
"remove this file from version control, but not from working area"
is a good thing; if you want to remove file, just /usr/bin/rm it.

In my workflow,  I regularly get bitten by this: 

I do 

  git checkout devel
  git rm src/foo.cc
  git commit src/foo.cc    # or whatever -a -i --difficult option is necessary

  git checkout stable

     ...barf: trying to overwrite untracked src/foo.cc file..


I think for the default to remove from the working area is better. 

FWIW, I consider it annoyance with CVS as well
