I recently started using eclipse oxygen and noticed only now that the built-in eGit version 4.9.2.201712150930-r cannot find any of my numerous existing local repositories.

When I click "Add an existing local Git repository". The dialogue "Add Git Repositories" opens to the correct default git repository folder already configured in git preferences. There I also have the "Look for nested repositories" ticked.
But it finds not a single existing local repository.

I never had that problem with any previous eclipse / eGit? versions.

I found a work around to get the local repository in by selecting "Create a new Git Repository and add it to this view" and by pointing the directory to an already existing local repository.
But that is not it supposed to work as it is strictly NOT creating a new repository!

Does anybody have the same problem and should be reported as a bug?
Or maybe there is something wrong with my eclipse/egit?
