That's kind of neat, I wasn't aware of that facet of Git Gui :-) But,
it isn't quite the same feature:

* It has to be manually set up on each installation.
* It invokes an external process, I don't know if it's safe to assume
that "rm" will work on all platforms (though I just tested it on my
Windows installation and it worked).
* It doesn't remove directories that it makes empty.
* I don't see a way to bind it to a keyboard shortcut. That could just
be me not knowing enough about custom tools, though. :-)

You can't as of now. Harish was in the process of implementing this [0], 
but I left some comments and he hasn't re-rolled the patch since. So 
unless I find some time to tie it up, this will remain un-implemented. 

Of course, if you'd like to see that feature in git-gui, feel free to 
pick it up and brush up the changes :). The latest version can be found 
at [1]. But it does not have a proper commit message (apart from the 
other changes I suggested) since Harish did not format the patch 
correctly when sending.

* It only processes the first file selected.
* If I select a tracked file, it will still delete it, and the feature
I'm looking for is more of a "return repository to clean state" type
function, like "revert" already is but extended to handle files that
you can't actually "git revert".
