Why is Eclipse deleting the CVS directories from my Git cloned repo? [message #1385738] Tue, 10 June 2014 20:25 Go to next message

I have a Git repo that still contains old CVS/ directories. When I create my local clone of this repo and create an Eclipse project pointing at my clone, Eclipse (Kepler SR2) shows all of the CVS/ directories as deleted. They also show up in the Unstaged Changes list on the Git perspective.

If I do a 'git status' on the command line it shows no modified files. I need those old CVS/ directories to still be there. So why is Eclipse doing this and how do I stop it?

I see no rational explanation for this behavior.

Are there any relevant logs that would help figure out what's going on?

The only log is the workspace/.metdata/.log file, which essentially only
lists error messages. In this case it seems something "successfully" deleted
the CVS directories.

I am experiencing the same problem. The CVS files are still there on disk, and git status does not mention them, but they show up in the EGit staging view and commit dialog as deleted.

Can you provide a small sample git repository containing CVS files to reproduce the problem ?

Here you go:

* add the attached repository in the Git repositories view
* import the test project
* refresh the staging view
* the 4 files in the CVS folder appear as deleted

This only happens when the project has been imported. I wonder if there is some sort of resource filter for CVS files in Eclipse which prevents EGit from seeing them in the working directory, so it thinks they've been deleted.
