When cloning on with git bash on Windows, getting Fatal: UriFormatException encountered


I am using git bash


$ git --version
git version 2.9.3.windows.1

on Windows 7. When I clone a repo, I see:


$ git clone https://UserName@bitbucket.mycompany.org:5555/scm/repofolder/repo.git
Cloning into 'repo'...
Fatal: UriFormatException encountered.

I suspect that some other problems I am experiencing are related to this UriFormatException. Anyone know why the exception might be occurring and how to resolve the issue?



Answer



This happens when using GIT for Windows v2.9.3 and using a repository URL that includes a port number. Rollback to v2.9.2 or wait for a fixed version of GIT for Windows.
