There is no such restriction in Buckminster. It's rather the way the
ECF's SCM <> Buckminster integration has been set up. The intention is,
that the SCM structure is hidden from Buckminster. This means that the
Buckminster metadata does not have to change whenever something is
moved/deleted/added in the SCM.

What I would suggest is to:

1) diff osgi/bundles/
org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin and
incubation/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin
2) remove osgi/bundles/
org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin (git rm)
3) move
incubation/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin to
osgi/bundles/ (git mv)
4) Apply patch created in step 1
