I skimmed through: git log v1.7.3.3..v1.7.4.1 http.c and came up with: commit f39f72d8cf03b61407f64460eba3357ec532280e Author: Gabriel Corona <gabriel.corona@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Nov 14 02:51:15 2010 +0100 Fix username and password extraction from HTTP URLs Change the authentification initialisation to percent-decode username and password for HTTP URLs. which seems a likely candidate based on the example you gave. You could try cherry-picking that commit onto your older version if you don't want to do a full upgrade. Now, I happened to know that http.c was where the relevant code lived (because I was working on it recently), and limiting my search to commits that touched that file made the list quite short. But knowing nothing else except a test case that works on some versions and not on others, you could always "git bisect", which would find the relevant commit for you. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
