This thread: How to disable EGit temporarily? discusses how to disable EGit in Eclipse, but when I go to "Startup and Shutdown"
, there is no option to disable EGit.
How can I control what plug-ins are loaded in Eclipse-CDT?
Ok, here's a suggestion. You can disconnect the particular project from Egit by doing the following: Right click on project->Team->Disconnect.
When you do wish hookup to the repo again, do right-click on project->Team->Share Project...
If you wish to disable the plugin itself, you would have to uninstall it.
