My experiment shows the Javadoc isn't really accurate in practice with EGit.
Also, with the proposal:
* "Derived resources are not original data, and can be recreated from other
resources." is true as the duplicate in nested project can be perceived as
the original data
* "a team provider should assume that the resource is not under version and
configuration management *by default*. That is, the resource should only be
stored in a team repository if the user explicitly indicates that this
resource is worth saving." it's the case if user explicitly says the
resource is worth saving in the parent project (moreover, EGit ignores that
apparently as it prefers the .gitignore)

I do not fully see the Javadoc as being against that change, and my
experiment seems to confirm that the proposal of marking nested project
folders as derived seems to fit int the main invariants enforced by the
javadoc.
