Can't clone repos via http on linux
Created by: InclinedPlane
If I run "git clone http://myserver.com/myrepo.git" it will prompt for a username and password on windows, but on linux it won't prompt for a password unless you use the form "git clone http://[email protected]/myrepo.git". Since the user account is actually an email address this adds a significant roadblock unless you create a .netrc file (I've tried url encoding the account name without success).
I would suggest allowing the use of just the short user account name for http based authentication.
