Start using Eclipse GIT with an existing project ... project files get moved -

yesterday wanted start using eclipse egit on existing project next instructions on http://www.vogella.com/articles/egit/article.html

this tutorial suggests have git repository outside of workspace, , followed suggestion.

after step "5.5. using git staging view initial commit" committed initial commit. continued editing 1 of source files still open. when tried save changes, eclipse complained source file no longer there.

then checked both workspace , git folder, , project files in git. mentioned in tutorial. normal behavior?

even more surprising: in order go on working open files, copied project subfolder .git workspace folder. , seems fine. changes reflected in workspace folder in "unstaged changes" in git staging view , in git folder.

is expected behavior?

i found out files moved. needed close open project files , open them bundle explorer 1 time again (which open files git repository).

eclipse git version-control
