When you use

git rm --cached myfile

it doesn't delete from the local filesystem, which is my goal. But once you commit the changes, push them to a central repository, then pull them into another yet another repository it still deletes the file from that system.

Is there a way to just remove the file from the index without deleting it from any filesystem?
