Description Matthias Sohn CLA 2010-05-06 05:19:48 EDT 
With the recently merged change http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,642 we got the following menus to import projects and clone repositories :

standard Import menu:
File > Import > Projects from Git

in git repository view:
Import Git Repository

I think instead (similar to what HgEclipse does) we should have

standard Import menu:
File > Import > Projects from Git Repository
File > Import > Clone Existing Git Repository

this should be available from the usual places (package view, navigator) and from the git repository view

[Batch change] Remove passed Target Milestones

If anyone on CC list is going to fix/implement this, feel free to assign a new, post-1.3/2.0, target milestone.

Do we really want to change how this works? Closing for now.
