Snippet (found on net) for removing files from repository that are no longer present under your project.

$ git rm $(git ls-files -d)

For best use add it to bash alias file: ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash-aliases (under ubuntu):

alias gitclean='git rm $(git ls-files -d)'

First, we need to install all dependencies:

# yum install gettext-devel expat-devel curl-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel

Next, get the git 1.6.x sources:

# wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.3.3.tar.gz

Then, unpack and cd into git sources folder and install it:

# make && make install & make clean

That`s it, now you`ll have git system ready to go.
