Sure there is. If you create your projects in the workspace, and in particular, directly beneath the workspace root, having the .git directory there is a logical choice. I generally try to create the projects outside the workspace, but Eclipse seems keen on creating projects in the workspace, but that is just my personal preferences and partly for historical reasons.
