[jbosstools-users] JBDS 8 - GIT plugin won't add an existing local repository

"That's the first time I hear about such layout."

Well, then you're probably not a GIT practitioner.

"What's the benefit of this approach versus importing projects from "regular" Git repositories (referencing them, not copying them) in workspace? "
This is not in the scope of my issue but since you're sending me links to the documentation, you've noticed probably the following statement: It is a good idea to keep your Repository outside of your Eclipse Workspace.

"I don't know whether EGit support thie approach you mention"
Thank you anyway for having taken the time to reply to my post. But if EGIT doesn't support this approach it means it doesn't support GIT as I'm trying to connect my workspace to an existent GIT repository, perfectly valid and 100% regular, supporting all the operations while using with GIT shell, but the Eclipse plug-in doesn't see it.
