Description Dariusz Luksza CLA 2010-10-16 07:55:07 EDT 
Recently I've created project egit-demo1 and pushed it into remote named as egit-demo.git. Right now when I want to clone this project into eclipse I've got an exception:
org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: Invalid project description.

Contains: OK
Contains: /home/lock/workspace/egit-demo/egit-demo overlaps the location of another project: 'egit-demo'

The current workspace (egit-demo) does not contains any other projects. Everything works fine when I hanged project name from egit-demo1 to egit-demo in .project file.

Could not reproduce the problem here -> worksforme.
Comment 2 Robin Stocker CLA 2013-10-03 13:19:23 EDT 
I could reproduce the problem now, reopening. Fix coming.
Comment 3 Robin Stocker CLA 2013-10-03 13:20:51 EDT 
Fix: https://git.eclipse.org/r/17004

Note that this is similar to bug 322260, but with "Import existing projcts" instead of "Import as general project".
