Actually, there is no reason you could not clone the .project file - I've just 
checked and there is nothing in there of importance. It's the .metadata folder 
in the workspace that has all the OS specific bits - and that includes the lock 
file for each eclipse instance. But the workspace can hold many projects - all 
of which are checked out from hg in my case, so cloning a complete set of 
projects + eclipse configuration is a layer above simply checking out a project? 
And I HAVE to use scripts at that upper level to manage the more complex 
projects since submodule is not totally functional where the end target is 
pigging github ;)
