Neither Linked Folders nor RSE is supported by EGit at this moment. Not even ignoring them is complete, though,some patches are underway to fix that part. The linked
(target) resources should be tracked in the location they appear, as normal files.
Supporting RSE would probably require a *lot* of reorganizing within EGit/JGit. The core of EGit, i.e. JGit, assume all resources are files in the end and that access
to the file system is a cheap thing. I'm not aware of any plans in that direction. If you can mount the remote file system using NFS, CIFS, FuSE or something like that,
that will probably work, though not very fast.

The deployment system (remote) will not have a version control client installed, but it will be running Python which is what the test applications are written in.
It was intended that changes be made on the remote system using Eclipse on a workstation, and the changes so made could be tracked through Eclipse, rather than having to tar up the remote source each time, or make edits on the workstation and rsync / copy it back each time.
NFS mounting could certainly be an option but I was thinking with EFS/RSE that could be avoided.
