title: "Authentication not supported": jgit error when trying to clone tfs hosted git repo
body: <p>When I try to clone a tfs hosted git repo  <a href="http://tfstta.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_git/SampleTFSGit" rel="noreferrer">http://tfstta.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_git/SampleTFSGit</a> from my linux machine, I face the Authentication not supported error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException: http://:@tfstta.int.thomson.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_git/SampleTFSGit.git: authentication not supported*</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Enabling basic authentication/alternate credentials does not seem to be  an option. </p>
  
  <p>Could someone please tell me a work around for this? I would be very grateful!</p>
