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?

Right, a Git repository is managed by a .git in a folder that is the same as, or a parent of, the current folder.  If you wanted to have multiple clones, you'd need multiple repositories.
