Cool, thanks.
I will provide a patch that marks .git as team private.

Adding egit-dev...  It's annoying that this in the only eclipse list
that doesn't cc itself by default

The Workspace has support for handling team private resources cleanly, see:
           IResource#setTeamPrivateMember
Unless they request it, users of the IResource API ignore team private
members when they iterate over the resource tree.  When consuming
resource deltas, interested listeners (likely only the git plugins
themseleves) can explicitly request to see changes to team private
resources.
