[egit-dev] RepositoryFinder cannot find repos in workspace-folders

[André Dietisheim <adietish@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys

I hit troubles when I created the following directory structure in my 
workspace:

workspace
 |_folder
 |   |_ .git
 |
 |_project

I could not connect "project" to the git-repo in "folder". I wanted this 
directory structure in a test to be able to have 2 repos (an origin and 
a clone). According to the constructor in ConnectoProviderOperation, I 
should be able to connect a project to a repo at an absolute path in my 
filesystem. I stepped through ConnectProviderOperation#find and 
according to my understanding it will only find repos in the 
project-folder and its parents until it reaches the (system-property) 
ceiling. Am I right in thinking that this is a bug or do I miss something?

Thanks
André
