Menu
In Eclipse there are options to configure the display of specific information related to a version control system like Subversion or Git as 'label decoration' besides the project name within its Navigator view.
Is there something similar available in NetBeans?

In NetBeans IDE, choose File > Open Project. In the file chooser, select the project and click Open Project.
Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as Mercurial, Subversion, CVS, and Perforce.
Under the project name that interest you, go in the "src" folder. All your java files should be there.
The project contains all of your sources and project metadata, such as the project's Ant build script. The project opens in the IDE. You can view its logical structure in the Projects window (Ctrl-1) and its file structure in the Files window (Ctrl-2).
You can enable scm branch information in the project name:
View -> Show versioning labels

I realized now that it is possible to display such decorations via the menu View > Show Versioning Labels.
The labels can be adjusted within Tools > Options > Team > Versioning > <version control system> > <version control system> Status Labels.
Some description to this can be found in the NetBeans documentation.
To get labels similar to the default ones in Eclipse I entered this as format:
{commit_revision} {date} {author} {folder}
In the options dialog this looks like this:
To further define how branches are displayed, you need to click on Define {folder}...
In the opening dialog I added the following entries:
.*?/(?<!/src/.{1,200})((branches|tags)/.+?)(/.*)? \1
.*?/(?<!/src/.{1,200})trunk/.+ trunk
See how it's looking in the dialog:
This will display 'branches/foo' and 'tags/bar' for branches and tags and 'trunk' for the trunk.
Within the Projects view this will then look like this:
