Description Vladimir Grishchenko CLA 2023-03-06 23:00:29 EST 
Consider this project layout:

project     (top-level repo)
  src       (linked folder)
    nested1 (nested repo)
      file.txt

Making a change to file.txt and saving it neither results in a "dirty" decoration nor does it result in the file.txt being shown as an unstaged change in the Git Staging view. Bad.

The change is detected if the workbench is restarted.

If I were to guess the resource delta is dropped on the floor when a file is in a subtree rooted at a linked resource ignoring the fact there is a repo below it.
