I make use of several EGit variables, particularly git_dir, git_branch and git_work_tree. I notice that these are not set in two contexts where it seems like they should be, or at least could be:
1) When the current selection is a file or directory in the one of Git Repository view entries
2) When the current selection is a Working Set, all of whose elements are projects that are part of the same Git repo.
Is this by design or is it an oversight? If by design, what's the rationale?

You want to look at GitVariableResolver, but then that's the easy part. You need to take care of the selection propertly. Not sure
how to do that, but I'd start by looking at the RepositoriesView and figure out how to get at it. You can find the view instance
using somthing like (from ShowRepositoriesViewActionHandler)
RepositoriesView view;
view = (RepositoriesView) PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView(
RepositoriesView.VIEW_ID);
