title: Git pull - deleted files
body: <p>I have a development server and a couple of production ones. I do commits from the dev to a remote repository and have <code>git push production</code> setup, that issues a pull from the production servers.
  I needed to remove a couple of directories with static files from being tracked so I did this</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4124792/have-git-stop-tracking-a-file">Remove an Existing File from a Git Repo</a>
  (summary: did <code>git rm --cached myfolders</code>, and after that added to .gitignore the folders)</p>
  
  <p>I have not yet committed the changes. The files show as deleted when doing <code>git status</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>#       deleted:    file1.jpg
  #       deleted:    file2.jpg
  #       deleted:    file3.jpg
  #       deleted:    file4.jpg
  #       deleted:    file5.jpg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My concern is: will the 'deleted' files be removed from production servers (from disk) when <code>git pull</code> is being performed? 
  I just want them untracked, but not deleted from disk.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
