** Additional Infos **
I was able to reproduce it to the CredentialManager.
-
If I delete the tenant.cache in the AppData I can do **one** operation till it fails again with the embedded Git in Visual Studio -
on the latest Build ( commit 11a3092 ) 2.19.1, I need to re-enter my Proxy Credentials every time I do an operation
-
With 2.17.1.2 everything works fine..
-
I replaced git-core directory in **/libexec/git-core with the one from my 2.17.1.2 Installation and can then use the Team Explorer Extension again ( the embedded git from Visual Studio ).
Although I just put back the Backup to reproduce the error, I can't find my Repo in Devops anymore but now fetch, clone etc. seems to work... -
Checked it on a Colleagues PC and there I get the : "Git failed with fatal error, authentication failed for <our GitRepo's URL>
