When xargs launches git rm without file arguments git emmits usage

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
usage: git rm [options] [--] <file>...

    -n, --dry-run         dry run
    -q, --quiet           be quiet
    --cached              only remove from the index
    -f, --force           override the up-to-date check
    -r                    allow recursive removal
    --ignore-unmatch      exit with a zero status even if nothing
    -matched
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

message which in this situation is a bit confusing and *suggests*
somehting might have gone wrong. And of course a shell output buffer
pops up.

[*] does || doesn't?
