Issue
I have multi-module project built with Maven. I imported only single sub-module (not parent) from that project as IDEA project, and looks like IDE doesn't recognize .git folder (because it is one level up from project root I used to import, I guess)
Is there still a possibility to add Git support for intelliJ somehow?
Solution
I have successfully opened a Maven subproject within IDEA. Naturally, it hasn't enabled Git integration automatically. From VCS menu I have selected "Enable Version Control Integration" and chose "Git" from submenu.
Then IDEA complained that there is no .git folder within the project and offered to select parent .git folder. I did it and everything worked as expected.
If you don't have Git option in VCS menu, this might be a bug. Try to disable SVN plugin and see if that helps (I don't have SVN plugin in my IDEA).
