Issue Type: Enhancement

Reporter: Burr Sutter
Priority: Minor
Attachments: Screen Shot 2012-05-25 at 10.57.18 AM.png
The Cloning Settings: Use default location - suggests that the end-user needs to put in
his Git location - users have been trying to use "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git"
and that causes some other errors. This is also not the end-user's project
directory. We should find a way to better explain what is being asked for here.

---------------------------------------------
This is git's default output location.
Nothing to do with the installation of Git.
There is no way to know what the endusers project directory is - it cannot be the root of
the workspace since that is bad practice and causes problems when importing.

-------------------------------------
So if this has nothing to do with Git - why does it default to
"/Users/burr/git"? the default value might be "Users/burr/projects"
with a note that says
"we recommend that this NOT be your workspace directory, it will be imported to look
like it is in your workspace but will in fact live at the directory specified here.

---------------------------------------------
it has nothing to do with the *installation of Git*. Of course it has to do with Git - its
your git projects basically.
Why does it default to ~/git ? Ask the egit guys, it is the default output directory for
git based projects in eclipse. You can set it to what you want under eclipse preferences
Team>Git>Default repository folder.
~/projects is just as wrong/confusing since then we would have to introduce yet another
preference for "default location of projects" which would only be listened to by
our wizard - egit wizards would still use ~/git and new native eclipse projects would
still use <workspace> as the default location.
Don't think it would be better we add more to the confusion would it ?
We can add the label warning about it not should go into your workspace if that helps?

Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-12015:
------------------------------------------
it basically is just a location to clone git projects to. but it is the place EGit
defaults to when creating new repositories / cloning repositories to. IMHO we should stick
to the choices in EGit. I'd be fine to better explain that this *Default Location* is
the location the new OpenShift git repo will get cloned to. Ex. by changing "Default
Location" to "Clone destination". Matches your expectations?

The "Cloning settings" dialog is very confusing when creating a new OpenShift
application project. On the first screen you specify the name of the application
(let's say "example"), then on the next screen you indicate you want to
create a new project (rather than use an existing one), then you arrive at the
"Cloning settings". Here are the two areas of confusion:
1. The dialog complains that /home/user/git does not exist if you haven't setup the
Git plugin to choose a folder that actual exists
2. The dialog does not indicate how this cloning directory relates to the project
directory.
Is the Location field in the "Cloning settings" the directory where the project
will end up? For any non-expert, this is not at all clear.
Why should this location be different than just the workspace where all other projects are
created?

Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-12015:
-------------------------------------
I think Clone Destination helps - and if EGit is the culprit for defaulting to the
"git installation" instead of a nice "git projects" directory then it
would be hard for us to correct that.
We may need to re-think what questions are asked that do not have nice defaults - there
are some many steps & questions in the current wizard that it is relatively easy for
the newbie to fall off the trail.
