- on the Editor page invoke '+' > New Project > Create a project from a Git Repository
- in the resulting prompter enter a URL that's not a Git repo (eg.- http://www.eclipse.org)
   ---> green status message "Cloning <theUrlYouEntered>" is shown indefinitely, gives the appearance that it's actually working, which is obviously wrong
- verified that entering an inappropriate URL like this when attempting to clone on the Git Repositories page does show an error message quickly

When I use http://www.eclipse.org I quickly get an error message "Error cloning git repository".  No additional information. Using a non-url returns "Clone URL garbage does not appear to be a git repository".

From the repositories page I get a better error: "URI not supported: http:///www.eclipse.org" (note the three slashes which were not present in the url provided).
