How to move Egit repository and working directory

Question

I am new to Egit and created a new repository for a GWT project I\'m working on. Unfortunately, I let it create the repository under my Dropbox folder, and now I\'m regrett

I managed to do it myself, here's how:

• In Eclipse, right-click MyApp project, Refactor->Move. Move the Eclipse project to a new spot on disk. Note that I kept the .../GitRepositories/MyApp/MyApp dir structure, it's just that I moved the location of GitRepositories to a new place. Also note that this left the old dir with nothing but the .git folder inside it (i.e. Eclipse moved the working files/dirs but not the repo).
• Close Eclipse
• Move the .git directory from the old directory to the new. Be sure to keep it in the right relative place! I accidentally moved .git from .../GitRepositories/MyApp to .../GitRepositories/MyApp/MyApp. This screwed things up and I had to back track...
• Start Eclipse

It might already work at this point, but because I moved .git to the wrong place when I first did it, I had to do the following steps:

• Right-click MyApp project, Team->Disconnect
• Right-click MyApp project, Team->Share Project...
• The wizard automatically finds the Git report relative to the project dir: ../.git

Happy hacking...
