How to make Eclipse recognise a Git source tree that was a Bazaar source tree

Question

I converted my Bazaar repo to a Git repo using fastimport. Seems to have succeeded as "git log" produces sensible output.

I moved my old bzr checkout directory to another name, then cloned my git repo to the old directory name.

$ mv myproj myproj-old-bzr
$ git clone myproj

When I start Eclipse I get errors about bazaar. The .bzr directory has gone (as expected) and I can't find any instance of bzr or baz in the .project or .cproject files, so there must be some info in the workspace directory.

Is there an easy way to I (re)configure Eclipse to use eGit for this project?

Should I start a new project and import the sources or is there a better way?

Answer 1

Got it sorted.

• Right click on the project in Project Explorer, select Team => Disconnect.
• Right click on the project in Project Explorer, select Team => Share Project ...
• Select Git -- my .git directory was present and Ecleipse recongised that an used it accordingly, and all is good in the world :)

eGit is much better than bzr-eclipse. Bazaar was great and loved it but it doesn't have the support and tools that Git does, so it's time to go with the flow.
