| Except that none of these were the case. The only possibility is .gitignore in the root directory, but this does not contain 'src' or anything that would match it. So I had a directory in my repo that contained other files and directories, but that git didn't recognize as being untracked. When I did a 'git add -f' the files and directories immediately showed up, but a 'git add' did nothing. Note that this directory *was* previously committed, but after renaming the directories within it (by renaming packages in Eclipse) it was no longer recognized. The only thing I can think of is that egit did something under the covers that caused the problem.

Adding a directory causes git to add all files recursively in that directory. Combining that with "-f" means you added recursively all files - even those which would normally be ignored.
