title: How do I create a git repository over an eclipse project or vice versa?
body: <p>I have a git repository that is just a directory tree (/myprogram/src/com/mycompany/test) with some source files.  I wish to create an eclipse project around this repository.  Both orders of <code>create project</code> in eclipse and <code>git clone &lt;url&gt; &lt;myprogram&gt;</code> from the command line give me a "folder already exists" error from whatever tool I use last.  I could move the files manually to merge them, but it feels messy and I'm not 100% confident I know which files to touch.</p>
  
  <p>How is this supposed to be done properly?</p>
