"git-add ." can just as easily be thought as meaning "add the current
state of directory ".", including additions and removals"; removals,
are, after all, part of the directory's state.

No, it doesn't.

The problem seems to be not because git's rename detection isn't enabled
(I have it turned on by default in my globaing settings), but rather
because git hasn't been told about the removal.

And I don't see anyway to automatically tell git "please mark for
removal all files that seem to have disappeared" -- "git-add ." doesn't do
it, and git-rm doesn't seem to have any option for doing this.

Really I want a single command that just tells git "please add to the
index _all changes that you can find_".

Thanks,

-Miles
