title: Using Intellij to import existing git project
body: <p>I'm currently using svn, and I'm using git-svn to checkout the project. I then tried to import the project into Intellij, and it kinda worked, but all the .iml files were red in color (don't know why, no errors as far as I could see).</p>
  
  <p>I then tried what was suggested in this post -
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15571451/import-an-existing-git-repository-into-intellij-idea">Import an existing Git repository into IntelliJ IDEA</a></p>
  
  <p>ie, opening the directory as a project and configuring the git root, same problem again.</p>
  
  <p>When I try compiling the project I get manifest errors that just says - -manifest while reading manifest file(invalid header field)</p>
  
  <p>My project is a multi-module maven project. Any ideas would be helpful cuz I'm stumped!</p>
