Well, outside git, if you do

$ mkdir -p foo/bar
$ echo hello > foo/bar/world
$ rm -f foo/bar/world

You didn't ask foo/bar to stay either, and still, it's quite natural
to have it stay in your filesystem. So, the same way you'd have ran
"rm -r foo", it seems reasonable to me to ask for "git-rm -r foo" if
the user wants to get rid of foo/ itself.
