follow-up to bug 344937 Icon decorations are now propagated to the enclosing working set, but the text label decorations of projects in the working set are not. The Eclipse CVS client also propagated the project text label decoration (e.g. the branch name) to the working set iff all shared projects in the working set had the same decoration. Unshared projects should not influence the decoration, but shared projects from other repository providers should stop the decoration. Top-notch would be if this even worked cross-repository, e.g. decorations [egit master] and [jgit master] would be merged into [ master] or [* master].
how would this look like for working sets with multiple projects from multiple repos that have multiple differently named branches checked out...?

Depending in what you choose for "no unique value", it could be " [* *]", or " [ ]", or "" (nothing). For CVS projects, the working set shows the tag/branch iff all shared projects in the working set use the same tag/branch name -- otherwise, it shows nothing. The CVS label decoration on working sets always shows the tag/branch and cannot be configured. I think EGit should do better and use the "Projects" decoration for working sets. As soon as the value of a variable is not the same for all projects, don't show that info any more or replace it with a "*".
Created Review https://git.eclipse.org/r/8321 The proposed change uses the same logic observed with CVS decorations, i.e. as soon projects from different repositories and/or different branches are discovered, no decoration is shown. Please review.
