When working with a local repository, you can just do the following:

1. Close Eclipse
2. Move the git repository on disk
3. Reopen Eclipse
4. Select File->Import... -> Git -> Projects from Git
5. Select local repository and add the new repository location
6. Select your project(s) to be added
7. (Optional) Remove the old project references from your workspace.

It may seem like a lot of steps, but it's actually very simple and less invasive than moving the repo and working copy separately.
