Description Tomasz Zarna CLA 2012-01-02 11:07:04 EST 
When trying to import a project referenced with a SCM URL like this: "scm:git:git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.git;path="bundles/org.eclipse.releng.tools";tag=v20111215-1442 the GitProjectSetCapability will fail. For some reason, "v20111215-1442" is treated as a branch reference and passed to CloneCommand as the initial branch to check out. However, this doesn't work:

Failed to read project description file from location 'D:\workspace\eclipse\_runtimes\runtime-EclipseApplication\eclipse.platform.releng\bundles\org.eclipse.releng.tools\.project'.
Failed to read project description file from location 'D:\workspace\eclipse\_runtimes\runtime-EclipseApplication\eclipse.platform.releng\bundles\org.eclipse.releng.tools\.project'.
D:\workspace\eclipse\_runtimes\runtime-EclipseApplication\eclipse.platform.releng\bundles\org.eclipse.releng.tools\.project (The system cannot find the path specified.)

Checkout fails so the "eclipse.platform.releng" folder contains only ".git" subfolder, no sign of "bundles" and "org.eclipse.releng.tools".
Comment 1 Tomasz Zarna CLA 2012-01-02 11:10:01 EST 
I guess checking out a tag when cloning is done can be implemented as a org.eclipse.egit.core.op.CloneOperation.PostCloneTask
Comment 2 Tomasz Zarna CLA 2012-02-02 11:22:12 EST 
Exporting in such case doesn't work either, see bug 367711.

In Eclipse SDK 4.2.1 and EGit nightly, I can only import from master. "Import the indicated version" is grayed in the "Import Plug-ins and Fragments" wizard.

I think that's not yet implemented
Comment 5 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2013-03-17 20:25:19 EDT 
This applies to both "Import from Project Set" and "Import from Plug-Ins View" using the Eclipse-SourceReferences header (scmurl) in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF .
