Assuming that you want to completely obliterate them, *I* would do this:
$ git diff -- netman.lpi netman.lps | patch -p1 -R
$ git pull
$ git rm netman.lpi netman.lps
$ git commit

The first step can also be done with
$ git reset --hard -- $FILES
or
$ git checkout $COMMIT -- $FILES

If you haven't pushed them, you can use git rebase --interactive:
$ git rebase --interactive HEAD^^^
and delete the lines referring to them.

NOTE that they'll be completely gone if you do this.
If you don't want to do that, or you have pushed them, use "git revert".

Any use of git rebase --interactive should be before you delete the
files.
