No, the only time I see this happen is when I delete a file within
Eclipse. That deletion is automatically staged. I personally don't
like this feature because there are cases (Oomph's version builder)
where I delete the file so it will be regenerated, so I end up manually
unstaging the deletion.

No.

If you hit the refresh button in the staging view, it appears to notice
any changes made outside of Eclipse (and to match what you see in the
command line).

I guess most of this can be answered by looking at what's going on in
the Staging view. Generally changes remain in the Unstaged changes
section until you manually move them to the Staged changes section.
