If you type "git status" it should show the inconsistency. It will say something like this:

# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm ..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       deleted:    db/migrate/20101007030431_create_favorites.rb

So just follow the instructions there. To permanently remove it from the repository, type:

git rm db/migrate/20101007030431_create_favorites.rb
