Re: [egit-dev] .git inside project is problematic
Many other team providers (CVS, SVN) follow the same model of repository information in the project; decorators etc filter these out. If we are not doing this in eGit, it suggests a bug rather than needing to change the location of the .git directory.

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?
