title: How to overcome the git error `Unknown SSL protocol error in connection`
body: <p>I'm trying to git clone some repository, but then I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone --recursive https://some-url.git
  Cloning into 'project'...
  fatal: unable to access 'https://https://some-url.git/': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to
  some-url.git:443
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read that the git repositories moved to force the TLS1.0 and no more support SSLv3 communication due to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POODLE" rel="nofollow">POODLE</a> vulnerability. But I don't know whether this error message means that my git client only knows to talk SSLv3 and the server denies or that the server only knows to talk SSLv3 and my client denies. If the problem is in my client, how can I configure it to use TLS; on the other hand, if it is the server, how can I resolve?</p>
  
  <p>The error is received on both SourceTree and scm git (console and gui).</p>
