> 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?
