Description Dani Megert CLA 2012-01-04 06:29:01 EST 
1.2.

When importing a project, 'Use the New Project Wizard' does not work. It creates a project which is not connected to the repository folder.

Also, this option should be disabled for folders which already contain a '.project' file.

Aha, the idea is that the user does everything by its own like he would use the normal new wizard. Not really helpful ;-).

The option should work the same as 'Import as general project' where one can select exactly one folder and the folder selected in the 'Git Repositories' view is pre-selected. Also, the new wizard should then be initialized with the correct values.

Also note, that is should read "Use the New Project Wizard" (bug 367834).

Hi,

I stumbled over the same problem :-(

After I found out that the bad wizard was the problem I now use this workaround (for CDT projects):

Import "projects from Git", select "Import as general project" and when the import is done add the C/C++ Nature. This converts the project into a CDT project.

Oh, my EGIT Version was:

Eclipse EGit	2.2.0.201212191850-r
Eclipse JGit	2.2.0.201212191850-r

regards
