What you did is is basically moving the contents of the TimeTracking 
directory to the repository's root and removing the directory. In other 
words, you changed the repo's structure

Before:
./timetracking/.git
./timetracking/README
./timetracking/TimeTracking/
./timetracking/TimeTracking/core
./timetracking/TimeTracking/pages
./timetracking/TimeTracking/lang

After:
./timetracking/.git
./timetracking/README
./timetracking/core
./timetracking/pages
./timetracking/lang

The EmailReporting plugin has all its files at the repository's root, 
whereas the timetracking stores it in the TimeTracking subdir.

Hope the above explanation was enough...

I suggest you checkout the repository outside of Mantis' plugin 
directory, and create a symbolic link to TimeTracking subdir, e.g.

$ cd /path/to/mantis/plugins
$ ln -s /path/to/timetracking/TimeTracking

No you cant ;-)
