No. You'd probably need to read a bit more on Git; unlike other systems like CVS and SVN, where you only have two states (i.e. committed contents vs files on the filesystem), we have three states (i.e. the index in addition to the above two). "git add file" and "git rm file" make the index match what's on the filesystem wrt "file". They never touch committed contents, which "git commit" command is about.
