title: Unable to clone this repository in Windows 8 RC with Github for Windows
body: <p>I get the following error message when trying to clone one of my GitHub repositories in Windows 8 RC using GitHub for Windows:</p>
  
  <p><em>Unable to clone this repository.
  Please check your internet connection.</em></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>When I try to clone the same repository in Windows 7 using GitHub for Windows, it succeeds.</li>
  <li>Cloning in Windows 8 progresses to about 9% before the error message appears.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I've checked the log file TheLog.txt, that says there's an error setting certificate verify locations:</p>

  <ul>
  <li>In Windows 7, where cloning the repository succeeds, nothing is written to TheLog.txt.</li>
  <li>In Windows 8 RC the same error occurs on any repository I try to clone.</li>
  <li>I sign in to Windows 8 using a Microsoft account, which has been a problem in Windows 8 CP with GitBash, because the user name is automatically set to include norwegian characters not supported by GitBash. As you can see, my home directory is C:\Users\EivindGussiås\.</li>
