Description Lars Vogel

2010-05-23 02:21:31 EDT

I create a project "de.vogella.test.myname" and push it to a repository "de.vogella.test.differentname" on GitHub. If I delete the project locally and clone it from GitHub I end up with the project named "de.vogella.test.differentname". 

I would expect that the project name is independent of the Git repository name.

Example: 

git+ssh://git@github.com/vogella/de.vogella.test.differentname.git

Best regards, Lars

http://github.com/vogella/de.vogella.test.differentname/blob/master/.project

The project name is stored in the .project file, but the project name itself seems to be defaulting to the repository name upon checkout. I'd expect it to take on the name of the repository for the file system, but it's odd that the project name is being changed. 

Does the local .project get changed as well?

No .project is still correct after checkout.
