Description Alex Blewitt

Build Identifier: 0.8.1

When you remove a repository from the repositories view, it gives a warning message that it will delete all projects.

This seems unnecessary; even if the project is no longer shared with the Git setup (e.g. it's been disconnected), there's no reason to remove the project just because the repository is no longer listed in the repositories project.

Creating a new project and sharing (or importing an existing project and sharing) results in a project with no reference in the 'git repositories' view, and appears to have no negative effect on use.

Finally, the project isn't really 'deleted' as such - it's just removed from the workspace. The bits are still on disk. 

It should really be replaced with a 'Do you want to remove these projects from the workspace?' dialog, and permit both removal and non-removal of the projects.

Reproducible: Always

The 'all projects' is really 'all projects sharing that same repository', by the way. It won't delete non-Git projects or Git projects on different repositories.

Good point. I'll try to replace this with a "do you want to remove these projects from the workspace" dialog.
