'rm' and 'mv' are described in the same section (http://gitref.org/basic/#rm-mv).
In the beginning, 'rm' is explained. Then 'mv'.
And after these, there is this sentence:"In its normal form the command is used to delete files. But it's often easier to just remove the files off your disk and then run git commit -a, which will also automatically remove them from your index.
"
Which gets back to describing 'rm', without mentioning it.

And after it, the 'In a nutshell' section mentions only 'rm', and ignores 'mv'.
