How to import a git project based on a revision in eclipse

Question

Is it possible to checkout code from a GIT repository based on an old revision. For example, I would like to checkout as a new application a code base I have but around the time when the code was first created (ie revision 10 or so)

i don't seem to see this option available in eclipse.

Any help would be appreciated

As I mentioned in " Eclipse/EGit: How to Build a Specific Tag of Git Repo ", you could use the " EGit Checkout ", but your HEAD would be detached .

It is easier to open the History view , and create a branch from the right commit .
(right click on the right commit in the "commit graph" section of that view)
