Ubuntu 16.04 Eclupse 4.6.2 RC1 I tried to set the EGit's default repository: Window --> Preferences --> Team --> Git, and then reset the `Default repository folder`. However, every time I restart Eclipse, the setting goes back to its default `/home/<username>/git`. How do I fix it, or can I manually edit the setting file (which one)?
This works for me using Eclipse Neon.1 and a recent EGit 4.6 nightly build I guess you used Oomph Preference recorder without noticing and you have recorded this setting. Check "Preferences > Oomph > Setup Tasks > Preference Recorder"
Nope, I didn't check anything in the "Oomph --> Setup Tasks --> Preference Recorder" page.
are there any related errors shown in the error log ?
I deleted ~/.eclipse and workspace/.metadata directories. Restart eclipse, change the default Git repository folder, and restart Eclipse. The default repository folder still remains its default `/home/<username>/git`. Window --> Show View --> Error Log: Plug-in: org.eclipse.ui.monitoring Message: UI freeze of 0.60s at ... Sample at ...

I deleted folder `/opt/eclipse` (Eclipse was installed here), `~/.eclipse`, and `<...>/workspace/.metadata`, and then clean-installed the latest version of Eclipse (Neon 2.RC3). The problem persists. I actually have more than 5 computers, all with the same OS and Eclipse settings. However, only one of them has the problem. Why? Except from the 3 folders mentioned above, are there any other folders/files that I should clear?
