I erroneously shared a locally developed project into trunk. I deleted it in Eclipse SVN Repository Exploring view. It no longer appears in the repository view. Then I tried to share the project into the correct branch and I get this message:
The project "Project1" already exists in repository and has some
content. To connect the local project to the specified location, the
repository folder content should be checked out. Please consider that
applying local changes can cause resource conflicts. For example, if
the local file has the same name as the remote directory the working
copy of the file will be obstructed.
Do you wish to proceed ?
There is no project with that name in SVN that I can see.
After trying unsuccessfully to find any references to this message I chose yes for proceed. Then it looked like it was uploading multiple projects and files that didn't belong to this project -- the title on the dialog box was Share Projects rather than Share Project as well -- so I pressed cancel.
Anybody know what is happening here?

I am working on a simple project to learn github. After I worked on my project in eclipse on my local computer, I pushed my project to github for other teammates. A second member of my team pulled this project from github and pushed back to github after making some changes. Now this morning I want to pull this updated project from github to my local machine (eclipse) so I can work on this updated project.
How can I pull this updated project from github to direct into eclipse on my local computer .
I am tried to do:
"git clone http://github.com/testproject/gitDemo.git" but it is not directly going to eclipse. If I save this project on my machine and then try to import into eclipse I got error message, "can not import, there is already one project exist with same name".
I did not see pull option in eclipse under:
Right click on project - team - Pull
Any suggestions??
Thank you in advance for all your help
I'll make one point that I'm not certain you do NOT understand, but as I often see this misunderstood, I'll point it out.
You should separate the notion of "git repository" and "project". When you clone a git repository from github (or bitbucket, or some central repository), you should store it in a directory tree outside of your Eclipse workspace. You then should right-click on the repository and select "Import..." to create a project from the contents of that repository.
Related to that, you should look for the "Pull" operation on the repository entry, not the project. I recommend to display the Git Repositories view on the left side, below the Package/Project Explorer, and make sure that you attempt all git operations in that view, instead of the Package Explorer view.
The only detail from your original post that I can address is the error about already having a project with that name. That error message is not ambiguous at all. You already had a project with that name. I have no idea whether that project was a copy of the repository that you had somehow already imported, or whether it's an empty project, or what. You don't provide any information about that.
EGit User Guide suggests making a Repository working directory to store your projects, so you can add multiple projects to one repository:
How do I do this? I tried Eclipse's Create New Folder -- it only creates subfolders for projects. I tried moving the projects into a directory I created and hitting refresh -- nothing happened, and when I closed Eclipse it lost track of the .project file. I tried creating a new working set, but it didn't seem like the same thing.
Is this even a good idea?
I do it like this:
Create a directory somewhere (e.g. ~/git/myrepo)
In the console/terminal: enter the directory you just created
Create the Git repository using git init
In Eclipse, right click on your project and select Team -> Share Project...
As repository, select ~/git/myrepo/.git
Working directory is ~/git/myrepo
Click Finish
You can also try and create the repository using the "Share" dialog as well. This is something I did not try.
I believe this screenshot comes from the Git Repositories View, not Package Explorer. So you can achieve this simply by creating your repository in a folder outside of your Eclipse workspace.
I have a remote in git
It contains a project already.
I'm using eclipse and sourceTree.
how can I add a newly created project to it?
by project I mean another code folder which depend on the already uploaded project.
You are probably going to run into at least one problem here: Eclipse will expect the existing project in the remote to be rooted at the root of repository (which I assume it currently is?)
I would just create a new repository, it's going to be simpler. On GitHub you can create an organization to group related repositories together.
So I need some serious help. I was looking into using EGit in eclipse. I created a test project and Team > share to a local git repository. I than committed the project to the repository. Cool I thought, but I didnt need this repository so I deleted it. Than my entire Project Explorer went empty and my Folder that contained all my workspaces is GONE. I am kind of freaking out right now, anyone know what to do?
When you select Team > share Project, EGit has to move all the files of the selected project(s) to the Git repository that you selected. EGit has to to that because you can't track files with git that aren't located inside the repository.
However, this makes your workspace look empty. The whole project seems to be gone. In fact, it isnt. In some config file is noted that the project has been moved to another location.
If you delete your repository, you also delete the files in it (it is a normal directory, remember that!). That means, if you really deleted your repository and did not just removed the link to eclipse so that it doesn't display the repo anymore.
Other than that, egit doen't touch anything else. It will only move the projects that you selected, and it will move it only to the location you told egit (the selected repository).
If you are sure that you lost projects you didn't select and/or one or more completly unrelated workspaces by doing what you have written above, than i suspect you found a bug as heavy as this one: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/commit/a047be85247755cdbe0acce6f1dafc8beb84f2ac
It's funny, I've been working with SVN (Tortoise on Windows) for a relatively long time, but I've never used other actions than checkout, commit and merge since the projects I worked on already existed.
Now I want to put an Eclipse project under version control by my own and realize that I am too stupid to do that. There is already a new SVN server with emtpy branches/tags/trunk folders, it was created by another person.
1.)
My intention is to add three subfolders to the trunk folder - these three folders are just for a better structure, they should not have anything to to with version control or my eclipse project (apart from the fact that I want to put my Eclipse project in one of those three folders in the second step).
But how can I do that? I created those three folders on my hard drive via Windows Explorer and tried to put them in the SVN's trunk folder by using the import function of Tortoise. This failed with the following log message:
Command: Import C:\New Folder to https://<SVN-Adress>/trunk
Adding C:\New Folder\folderA
Adding C:\New Folder\folderB
Adding C:\New Folder\folderC
Commit blocked by pre-commit hook
svn: URL file '<SVN-Adress>/trunk/folderA' non-existent in that revision
svn: URL file '<SVN-Adress>/trunk/folderB' non-existent in that revision
svn: URL file '<SVN-Adress>/trunk/folderC' non-existent in that revision
2.)
In the second step, I want to add my eclipse project to folderA and another eclipse project to folderB. Since there is already content in the eclise project folders, the "Create Repository here" command of Tortoise SVN doesn't seem the way to go. Apart from the question how to do that properly, is there something to be aware of? E.g. are the two eclipse projects independet and isolated later on or does a commit of the one project also increase the version of the other project?
Thank you
Checkout https://<SVN-Adress>/trunk to your root folder (c:\New Folder), then SVN-add all the files and folders you want to be in source control, and commit.
