Description Boris Bokowski CLA 2011-05-10 15:01:27 EDT 
Turns out you need to put the following two lines in the preference file, not just the first one:

orion.project.defaultSCM=git
orion.file.layout=userTree

Btw, can we please make this the default configuration for our download please? It's a major hassle to make this change every time anybody is setting up a locally hosted Orion for demo purposes. They always ping me for help with doing the necessary changes!

Making git the default:

Note I have configured this at the product level, so we don't have a git=default assumption deep in our core internals. Running a downloaded server this should be picked up automatically. If you launch a server from your workspace you need to ensure the product is specified in the launch config (program args):

-product org.eclipse.orion.product
