Description Matthias Sohn

With the recently merged change http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,642 we got the following menus to import projects and clone repositories :

standard Import menu:
File > Import > Projects from Git

in git repository view:
Import Git Repository

I think instead (similar to what HgEclipse does) we should have

standard Import menu:
File > Import > Projects from Git Repository
File > Import > Clone Existing Git Repository

this should be available from the usual places (package view, navigator) and from the git repository view

Do we really want to change how this works? Closing for now.
