I realize that, but from my user's point of view, I'd say they are
connected... :)

Well, I would say folders that get checked out via externals should be
treated differently.
In my case, I'm trying to mirror the server's directory structure, and
I would want to be able to see what the status of the actual projects
is, even when I only see the "root". Any chance of something being
implemented there in the future, to show that contained folders are up
to date or not?
(I realize, of course, that an additional complication is that a
"main" folders could have separate sub-folders created by externals as
children...)
Best regards,
Christian
