The default decoration for Projects:

{dirty:>} {name} [{repository} {branch}{ branch_status}]

doesn't work for local tracking, ie, one local branch tracking another local branch. Specifically, branch_status is wrong.

Replicate as follows:

1) Use the egit Branches dialog to create a new branch, say "tracker", from "master". Select the 'merge' radio button option in the 'Create a new branch' sub-dialog.

2) Commit any random change in "tracker".

3) Run 'git status' on the command line, observe that, as expected, it says

# On branch tracker
# Your branch is ahead of 'master' by 1 commit.

4) Expected EGIT behavior: the project status will be decorated with up-arrow 1 to show that branch is ahead by 1 commit.

4) Observed EGIT behavior: the Project decoration in egit shows no status.

In other respects this form of tracking works perfectly well in egit/jgit. Only the Project decoration is wrong.

I did, though posting here generally seems at least as effective, if not more so.

For reference the bug is

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376970

Near as I can tell nothing has been done with it, though my guess is it's a simple fix: just drop the incorrect presumption that only remote references can be tracked.
