The Git sharing wizard used to figure out what project belongs to which repository. It no longer does that the user has to figure this out wihout any help from the wizard. This is tedious and error prone with only a few projects.

Created attachment 196766 [details] Illustration of the issue with four repos in the workspace
The previous behavior is still available by checking the "Create or use Repository in parent folder of project", isn't it?
(In reply to comment #3) > The previous behavior is still available by checking the "Create or use > Repository in parent folder of project", isn't it? Yea, but it's very confusing to get confronted with a view that so desperately seeks mess with my repos. It should not suggest to move projects that are already located inside repos. Those projects should at least be unchecked in the new pane. Maybe it would be easier to understand if that was a tabbed dialog since it very much behaves like one. Also drop the message about it being discourages to have repos in the workspace. I¨m not sure what the problem is. I know there was a discussion, and some people don't like it, but then people like different styles and that doesn't mean one is bad and the other isn't.
.... Actually I see a place for the warning. 1. Trying to create a repo at the workspace level. That'd bad 2. Creating a a repo directly below in project that is directly below the workspace. That is not necessarily, but is often the result of not thinking about the repository layout. One does not usually want that. On the other hand making that error in the "git" workspace isn't any better. But the warning should ONLY be given when attempting to CREATE a new repo.

Make it much arder for the user to do the wrong thing and not default to it. The warning was the minor issue here. I listed the major issue first.
Posted a minimal patch to gerrit.
