Description GianMaria Romanato CLA 2011-09-22 04:28:39 EDT 
Build Identifier: 1.1.0.201109151100-r

The current implementation of GitProjectSetCapability clones repositories and projects without performing a workspace operation.

As a result, when using a GIT Team Project Set to setup a new workspace which will eventually contains many projects, if autobuild is enabled, Eclipse will start building when the workspace is incomplete, leading to annoying build errors.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open Eclipse on an empty workspace and make sure autobuild is set to true
2. use *.psf to setup a large workspace with many projects (e.g. >40) distribued in different repositories
3. Eclispe will start building as soon as projects pop up in the workspace

The result is that the build is useless, slows down the workstation and leads to confusing build errors that will be resolved by performing a full workspace clean once the cloning is completed.
