Hi Dale,
after some contemplation I am adding some remarks - not being convinced that they help in your case.
Regarding Egit, you may use "Add to Git index" among the tools icons (provided you used Window->Customize Perspective->Command Groups Availability and ticked "git") or from project->team->Add to Index to mark a file for the next commit. Then when you try to commit, some files are already marked. This corresponds to "git add <file_or_directory>" in the git command line version.
When you get to the screen "Commit Changes to the Repository", there are three small icons below the field for the committer. If you click on the left of them (marked with "?"), you can make the untracked files - like .ptp-sync .project disappear from the list.
This is for Egit, but you have similar problems when using command line git (which eventually shows that this is not really an Eclipse problem). If you issue "git status" on the command line, you get the same list of untracked files spluttering on your bash screen. I found that it helps to group untracked files (like *.o, *.mod for Fortran90) in separate directories wherever possible.
I never used "team synchronize". Presumably this is doing much, e.g. adding too many files to the git commit ? Meanwhile I have the strategy to keep .[c]project (and such) off the git repository.
I gave a presentation at ScicomP 2012, where I touched some of those issues. I am a user, not a tool developer, so I may have a different view on this. See http://spscicomp.org/wordpress/pages/user-experiences-with-eclipse-ptp-synchronized-projects/ for details.

I am currently beta testing Iuno RC3, and I haven't seen a single "channelexec" error after I switched to Iuno. I have just suspended my TP, woke it up again and started synchronization and compile - no problem at all. Of course, I didn't suspend while the synchronization was in flight.
Hope these remarks were at least somewhat helpful. --
