[egit-dev] .git inside project is problematic

["Baumgart, Jens" <jens.baumgart@xxxxxxx>]

If you share a project with Git and create a new Git repository the proposed repository root is the project folder.

As a result of this the .git folder is part of the project.

I see at least three issues with this:

 

1. Unnecessary resources are created for all files contained in .git
2. Eclipse services like decoration process .git => performance issue
3. You can’t add a second project to the repository later

 

So should we really promote this kind of repository creation in the sharing wizard?
