As Robin said, it should work.  EGit and JGit both use this layout.

There should be .project files in the repository.  I think we scan
the entire checkout tree for .project files, but maybe we are doing
something stupid and only looking at the top level directory of
the checkout.

Nope, I don't think this is supported right now.  You need to
initialize the git repository by hand in the higher level directory
that holds the projects.
