The same problem occurs 1.2.0.201110190928
Where are your Git repositories located? Are they all on a local hard disk?
(In reply to comment #2) > Where are your Git repositories located? Are they all on a local hard disk? Yes - C:\Users\mrennie\git
Michael, are you still seeing this problem? Could you attach your preferences file? ws/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.egit.core.prefs file?
(In reply to comment #4) > Michael, are you still seeing this problem? > > Could you attach your preferences file? > ws/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.egit.core.prefs > file? Just looked at my configuration file and there was an entry there like: C:/home/mrennie/org.eclipse.orion.git. I deleted the entry and restarted Eclipse - problem gone. I don't recall sharing settings from my Windows box to my Linux machine, but that could have been the problem.
