You omitted all the interesting details about your problem (why not just give us away the real URL if it requires authentication anyway?) but 500 looks like a so-called HTTP status code. So I assume your repository URL starts with http:// or https://, and HTTP status code 500 stands for "Internal server error". In turn, this status code is usually returned for the cases which can be described this way: the server software understood the request but failed miserably trying to process it. I'm afraid there's not much you can do about this other than trying to obtain a working URL or contacting Codeplex staff about this problem. Note that since AFAIK Codeplex is in limbo, many projects are mirgating from it away, so try figuring out whether your project has actually a new home. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
