When I try to clone a tfs hosted git repo http://tfstta.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_git/SampleTFSGit from my linux machine, I face the Authentication not supported error:

org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException: http://:@tfstta.int.thomson.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/_git/SampleTFSGit.git: authentication not supported*

Enabling basic authentication/alternate credentials does not seem to be an option.

Could someone please tell me a work around for this? I would be very grateful!
