EGit does not shows project decorations
Decorations are not displayed when some commits are not pushed EGit within the Eclipse IDE. These are the UP and DOWN arrows shown to the right of the project name in Eclipse Project Explorer. This issue can be resolved by going into the properties of the GIT repository in the Git Repositories view. Then click on Add Entry and add the following keys and values:
branch.master.remote = origin branch.master.merge = refs/heads/master
