Description Daniele Segato CLA 2013-04-12 11:31:47 EDT 
Steps to reproduce:


1) clone a git repository with submodules (http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules)
2) In Eclipse import as existing project a project inside a submodule
3) Team -> Share -> Git
4) look for a way of doing so
5) fail


There's no way to link the two if the project is within a submodule.
I tried with any order of operations (importing directly from submodule in the Git Repositories view)



As a side note: I think this is a design mistake, the same design mistake eclipse did with maven: trying to integrate by re-writing the tool in java instead of actually using the tool itself (like you did with ANT for instance) by executing it as an external tool and wrapping the responses.
