You seem to talk about nested git repo here.

Looks like there is a possibly-windows-specific issue here. The test repo is a git repo with a couple of eclipse projects just beneath the top-level. It can be checked-out from both Ubuntu (Karmic) and Windows (Vista), and in both cases the projects can be attached to the team provider from the "import" wizard. On an Ubuntu box, I could use "team/disconnect", and then "share" to attach to "../.git", it worked like a charm. On the windows box however, reconnecting was not possible: the "../.git" line is not selectable. Note that it does read "../.git" and not "..\.git". Note that on my "mostly squeeze" Debian box, the import would succeed, but in that case none of the projects were attached to the team provider. If afterwards I try to connect it, it silently does nothing. In that case it may be a known bug: I have a ~/.git dir that is also seen by jgit, and which I am also proposed in the "share" dialog. If I move it away, the request to attach is successful. Best regards, -- Yann
