Hi,
is it possible to import remote git repository to one folder, for example /home/user/git,
and then create java project in another folder, for example /home/user/eclipse, so that no further actions will be required to make them work together?
If I try to do like that:
1) my project is not "shared" automatically (it doesn't matter what settings I select in "Import projects from Git" wizard)
2) I can not share project with just imported repository (if they are located in different folders).
Why does egit require to have git repository in the same folder where project is?
I understand that I can clone just imported repository to the project folder, but still, why does egit have such limitations?

I can answer that one: Because noone did the required coding.
JGit has support at the lower levels, so it is just that some wants to
spend an hour (or a few) on it instead of on something else.
