I installed CSWgit 1.7.10.2,REV=2012.05.12. (sparc, solaris 10) It seems, that git-remote-https doesn't work with passwords longer than 8 characters. With 8 characters it works.
Example: password 9 characters bash-3.2$ git clone https://bellus3/git/myrepo.git Cloning into 'myrepo'... Username for 'https://bellus3': Password for 'https://kaempfer@bellus3': fatal: Authentication failed bash-3.2$ Example: password 8 characters bash-3.2$ git clone https://bellus3/git/myrepo.git Cloning into 'myrepo'... Username for 'https://bellus3': Password for 'https://student@bellus3': remote: Counting objects: 9, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. remote: Total 9 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (9/9), done. bash-3.2$ ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0010920) maciej (administrator) - 2014-09-22 11:21 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4943#c10920 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI this bug blocks git packages from being integrated into testing. Is this a regression with regard to the version in the testing catalog? If not, consider lowering the severity of the bug below Major.
