This is partially fixed. I've added KDevelop context menus to the context menu of the File Selector.

But I doubt merging is possible. There are technical and conceptual reasons. Jens has already stated conceptual reasons - FS is not applicable for a project management but FT is. Recent commits to FT by Mario prove this (I mean new  vcs features of FT).

I beleive this can be done using generic project manager. Currently project management in KDevelop consists of 9 parts. We simply can't add all features to all of them. But alas I don't have enough time atm to implement that. Nevertheless, it will be implemented after 3.0 for sure.
