Now, I d like to do this, excluding one directory. I tried this:

git rm $(git ls-files --deleted --exclude= sites/all/modules/imagecache_actions/ )

but it didn t work. Am I misusing the exclude tag?

Answers

git ls-files -d | sed  /^sites/all/modules/imagecache_actions//d  | xargs git rm

The -x --exclude option only works with untracked files.
