title: Proxy through Cntlm: why git clone hangs?
body: <p>I was able to set cntlm (see its <a href="http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">sourceforge project</a>) to our corporate proxy and browser works through it. Both on http and https.<br>
  But when I try to run <code>git clone -v <a href="https://github.com/spraints/git-tfs.git" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/spraints/git-tfs.git</a></code>, it sends several initial packages and hangs. Resulting <code>.git</code> directory is about 14kb.</p>
  
  <p>On the contrary when I set it directly in git via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global http.proxy http://domain\\\login:password@our-proxy-server:8088
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>everything works well.</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any suggestions?<br>
  Or probably some proposal how to connect git to repositories without putting password in plaintext configs?</p>
