I'm a bit rusty on my EGit, but I believe what you want to do is to "Disconnect" the repository/project from within Eclipse: http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.egit.doc%2Fhelp%2FEGit%2FUser_Guide%2FReference.html "*Disconnect* - Disconnect the attached Git Team Provider from this project. The git repository still exists but is no longer integrated with Eclipse." Now, this will remove Eclipse's "binding" to the Git repository, meaning that Eclipse will treat it as just a normal project folder on the disk. There won't be any more Team/remote actions available. Eclipse won't care that the project is Git repository, at least not until you re-import it again, or do Team -> Share -> Git to reconfigure the binding. However, on disk it will still be a Git repository, as there is the .git directory inside it. If you want to completely drop all history, but keep the project as it is, delete the .git subdirectory (warning: maybe keep a backup of it somewhere if you're afraid of losing data). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
