--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
That's just what git's remove operation does: blows away the file on disk. If
you don't want files in your git repo removed on disk, don't use git's remove
operation.

Now, this should probably be undoable, since we're in a GUI file manager after
all. But the bottom line is that this is just how git works. It is definitely
not known as the most user-friendly source control tool! Am I understanding
that you were intending to un-stage the file, i.e. undo an accidental action to
add it to the list of staged files?
