Marco,

Interesting! I guess you are right, eclipse caches the workspace. You
have several options:
In the eclipse preferences "General --> Workspace" you can enable a
open "refresh automatically"
in addition to Preferences : "General --> Startup and Shutdown" and
enable the option "Refesh workspace on startup".

>From the git perspective you can choose <your git
clone>/Branches/Local/<your branch>
and chose the action "Synchronize with Workspace"

And last but not least refresh your workspace  whenever you have the
feeling that its out of synch and choose File -> Refresh / choose
bundles and press F5.

Thats my workflow because I'm working a lot with the command line
tools. But I guess its a general problem if you use different tools
outside of eclipse to keep the workspace in synch (e.g. a simple
editor to edit maven pom.xml files).

Cheers, Frank
