Is it escaping the %40 when passed down? I am getting an error 401 , and checking the server logs , it is passing the %40 to the server in the username. Running curl from command line , I can connect, but through git , the username is getting mangled or I have something screwed up. I will look at http.c tonight after work, to see if I am messing something up.
