Description Greg Watson CLA 2011-05-14 07:26:09 EDT 
If I create a sync project to a remote directory, say xxx, then delete the project from my workspace and create another that uses the same remote directory, I get merge conflicts. I think this is because you are synchronizing the .project and .cproject files. Do you think this is wise, or should only the source be synchronized?
Comment 1 John Eblen CLA 2011-05-27 22:46:43 EDT 
Yes, this was the problem. It has been fixed by the new file filtering code. The .project and .cproject files are no longer synchronized.
