Hi Matthias ,

thanks, what i meant by git project was a project cloned from a git repo.

I got it solved

I have had a .git folder which was not cleaned properly at my home directory, Apparently when you have a .git folder at root level and import a git cloned project as a general project e-git fails to automatically recognize it as a git project since it gets confused with the two .git folders, deleting the root level .git folder resolved my issue!!

thanks!

I don't know what you mean with "git project", git doesn't have the concept of a project and Eclipse
doesn't have the concept of a git project. The Git team provider can be attached to Eclipse projects
(e.g. a Java project) by using "Team > Share > Git". If auto-sharing is enabled under
"Preferences > Team > Git > Project > Automatically share projects" EGit will attach itself to
Eclipse projects being imported into the workspace.

Can you describe the structure of your working tree and provide detailed steps how to reproduce ?

I observed this on ubuntu 13.10, but it does not appear in ubuntu 14.04 above.
we observed the similar issue in mac, but in some machines it works fine.

Is there a specific configuration that results in this behaviour

egit plugin version used - org.eclipse.egit_3.2.0

why are you using an old release ? Latest is 3.5.2 available here http://www.eclipse.org/egit/download

Is this a known bug for lower ubuntu versions?

I am not aware of a bug in this area which is depending on the ubuntu version
