Description Lars Vogel CLA 2010-12-20 07:50:00 EST 
I'm very happy about the new HTTPS supports in Egit. Unfortunately it appears that projects checkout via HTTPS are not stored in the workspace but above it.

My current workspace is for example:

C:\Users\vogella\workspace\docu

If I checkout a project "de.vogella.test" via the Git protocol I get:

C:\Users\vogella\workspace\docu\de.vogella.docs

If I checkout via HTTPS I get

C:\Users\vogella\de.vogella.docs

I think the checkout into the workspace is the correct one.

Best regards, Lars

Here is the dialog which creates / displays the incorrect path.

This is not related to the protocol used when cloning a repository. 

By default repositories are created under the user's home directory. 
If you want to change this default visit 
    Preferences > Team > Git and change the "Default Repository Folder"
