That's normal.  It's just letting you know what is going on with the files.

Have you manually removed files from the repository?  In general that's
not recommended unless you really know what you're doing (and in this
case, it's obvious you don't).  It will mess with your history, but
isn't detrimental if you don't need that history any more.
