| Confused about how to create a project within a repository [message #1175631] |

I'm new to git, so I'm likely doing something basically wrong.
Using latest Kepler.
We have a mostly empty git repo. I have managed to create a "readme.md" file at the root of the repo. Someone else also put a ".project" file at the root of the repo. We'll call that root project "projroot".
I cloned the repo to "c:/Users/<myid>/git/projroot
I now need to create some subfolders off of the root which are also standalone Eclipse projects. I don't understand what the next step would be. I tried creating a Maven project in my workspace. Would I then "share" it? I tried doing this, but it says the following:
Can not move project <newproject> to target location C:\Users\<myid>\git\<projroot>\<newproject>, as this location overlaps with location C:\Users\<myid>\git\<projroot>, which contains a .project file
I don't know how to proceed.

That's probably not ideal. Most of us don't treat the entire repo as a
single project.

Try first deleting the "entire repo project" from your workspace
(without the "delete from file system" check box checked), then it
should work. Unless you really need to the entire repo as a single
project, you might want to delete that .project file you put at the root.
