Description Dani Megert CLA 2011-08-30 09:07:21 EDT 
1.1.0.201108281957.

I have some projects from CVS in my workspace which also reside in the new Git repository. Now, I want to import some not yet existing projects from that Git repository but it doesn't allow me to do this. See attached dialog.

OK, it works in the normal case.

I'm currently verifying that the CVS and the Git Repo content is the same for certain branches.

To do this I checked out the CVS projects into my workspace. I then added a project called "Git Repo" that points to the Git repo location, so that I can use Compare With > Each Other. After doing that I removed the project again. However, for some unknown reason Git still knows about this deleted project. See attached picture.

Import should also be possible even if the project already exists in the workspace (ask to delete similar to the 'Plug-ins and Fragments' import wizard).

Seems that request is for Platform IDE, not EGit. Right?

No, it's the Git import (see attached picture).
