Hi,

I occasionally reset PTP synchronization, but I am using the *local* copy as a 
reference copy, i.e. the local copy has the correct information and is kept 
under revision control using a .git subdirectory next to the .ptp-sync 
directory. I am not sure whether the following recipe can be extended to 
starting from a remote copy.

This is my recipe.
1. Switch active synchronization to local and then shut down Eclipse.
2. ssh to remote host(s), and on each of them completely scratch the remote 
copy. Potentially even remove parent directories to have them recreated.
3. If your local top level .gitignore contains additions from you, execute
  3a. mv .gitignore save.gitignore
  3b. find . -name .gitignore -exec rm {} \; -print
  3c. mv save.gitignore .gitignore
If not, executing just step 3b is fine.
4. locally, rm -rf .ptp-sync
5. Edit local copy of .project, remove the line containing "remoteSyncNature"
 (usually third line counted backwards from the end of the file).
6. Potentially clean up the local copy from unwanted files.
7. Restart Eclipse and use "new->Remote->Convert C/C++ project into 
synchronized project" and follow wizard instructions.
The remote hosts are still there, but you have to reenter the remote 
location(s) and the sync filter rules.

Hope that helps !
