I have no idea how a fix could look like. Right now it simply
copies/flattens the git repo into the project/ folder via a copy
command. You would have to add some code that e.g. detects the duplicate
and renames one of the projects (which one?)...

What you are trying to achieve by keeping the old project is one of the
things git already does. If moved properly in git, the incubation folder
will have a revision that shows the move from incubation/ to osgi/. This
is one of the feature git has over CVS.
Copying the project means:
- Two projects with the same name but different content => confuses
consumers, the build...
- No history for the graduated project in osgi/ prior to the move
- No history in incubation/ that the project got moved to osgi/
- Bloated build due to extra handling of duplicate projects
Generally incubation/ makes a lot less sense with git. The work flow
most projects follow is, that a new feature (project) gets developed in
a dedicated feature branch that eventually is merged into master (or
integration) once finished.
