rake rails:freeze:edge, awk, xargs, and git rm

So, I had a project.
I did

rake rails:freeze:edge

But ended up with a million files that had been deleted.

How do you "git rm" hundreds of files which have been deleted already?

Sadly git add vendor/rails/*../* doesn't work.

So here's a bit of awk.

git status | awk '$3 ~ /vendor/ && $2 ~ /deleted/ {print $3}' | xargs git rm

BOOM!
