Description eosph 2013-03-12 10:26:21 UTC

I have the following folder setup:

/webroot <-- Contains a git repo
/webroot/site1 <-- Contains a git repo and where the project was setup

When I open up the project all the files show as ignored because it's using the /webroot git folder and not the one from /webroot/site1.

Ideally it should only use the git information from where the project was first created (in this case /webroot/site1). Git functionality seems to work fine in the project though.

I don't know if mine is the same problem or a different one. Netbeans doesn't recognize git repositories outside the project folder.

Example:

(It DOESN'T works!)
1) I right click on the project
2) I go to versioning
3) I click on "Initialize Git repository"
4) I SELECT A DIFFERENT DIRECTORY FOR MY REPOSITORY (EX. C:\ProjectsRepo)
5) (PROBLEM) The repository is correctly initialized in C:\ProjectsRepo but IT IS NOT VIEWED AND USED BY NETBEANS FOR MY PROJECT

(It works)
Follows the steps till 3
4) I select the standard directory for the repo (Inside my project folder)
5) The repository is correctly initialized and it is used correctly by netbeans to work with my project.

Is your project stored under "C:\ProjectsRepo" or somewhere else?

It should be stored somewhere else. The same problem occurred when I tried a similar setup. In my case I put the project folder on the hard disk, while I tried to initialize the repository on a flash drive.
The repository was initialized correctly, but NetBeans could not detect it.
