+1 for deletions. For renames on the other hand, it can make sense IMO.

See this bug, which is about making this configurable:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341322

If we added two check boxes in the preferences (one for staging renames 
and one for deletes), we could disable the delete case by default.
Users wanting the old behavior back could then re-enable it.
