Description Michael Woski CLA 2011-09-23 06:17:21 EDT 
I was trying to rename a C project that is under git version control (.git folder resides in the project folder). I got the error shown below.
As soon as I disconnected from git I could rename the project.

eclipse.buildId=I20110915-1308
java.version=1.7.0
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86_64, WS=gtk, NL=en_GB
Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64

java.lang.NullPointerException

You probably meant to file this against the EGit project...
Comment 2 Matthias Sohn CLA 2011-09-30 19:02:42 EDT 
this is probably fixed with this change which is currently in review: http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2727
could you give this a try ?
Comment 3 Stefan Lay CLA 2011-11-14 03:56:16 EST
