Sorry, hit the wrong button.

The title should be "Resources appear as untracked if there is a closed parent project"

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install m2eclipse
2) Check out the Tycho sources: git://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-tycho.git
3) Use the "Import existing Maven projects" wizard to import the Maven project in the "tycho-p2-resolver" subfolder -> import the aggregator module and all child modules
4) Team share on the imported projects
5) Close the project "tycho-p2-resolver"
Now all resources in the other imported projects will be decorated as untracked.

We recently looked into problems EGit faces with nested projects and if we could better support them. But we found that the platform support for hierarchical projects in Helios is not really working and we most probably won't invest time to workaround intrinsic platform issues (see bug 35973). E.g. files inside nested projects appear as multiple resources in the Eclipse resource model, disambiguating them in a higher layer would be a mess.

Maybe you should add your vote to the platform bug 35973 tracking this. As far as I understand a solution is planned only for e4.

So currently I don't see how we could fix a mal-functional platform support for hierarchical projects with reasonable effort.
