Git ssl error on windows

git ssl msysgit gitorious

I keep getting the following error when attempting to clone a git repository using ssl on windows:

error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

The ssl certificate hierarchy is trusted (the issuer certificate is added to Trusted Root Certificate Authorities) and I can browse to the hosting site (a private instance of Gitorious) without ssl errors. I've tried cloning on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 and it's failed both times.

Anyone got any ideas?

Answer

Git Apparently not take certificates saved in windows, you have to specify what editing the path to the certificate file .gitconfig

gitconfig location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc

Add the line (replace with the path to file and yourCertificate.ctr with the name to your certificate):

.
.
.
[help]
    format = html
[http]
    sslVerify = true
    sslCAinfo = C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
    sslCAinfo = [route]/yourCertificate.crt
[sendemail]
    smtpserver = /bin/msmtp.exe

[diff "astextplain"]
.
.
.

and try again..
