Using the Egit plugin, is it possible to permanently remove a file from source control without deleting the local copy?
I.e., is there a GUI action equivalent to running “git rm –cached”?

I have found the answer. Team->Untrack is indeed the equivalent of “rm –cached”. However there is a known bug which produces weird behaviour when you untrack and then try to commit.
