title: Can't clone remote git repository with EGit
body: <p>I am trying to clone remote git repository with Egit, via https protocol. 
  I followed <a href="http://www.vogella.de/articles/EGit/article.html">this online tutorial</a>.</p>
  
  <p>When I insert URI: <a href="https://username@host:port/repositorypath">https://username@host:port/repositorypath</a>, password and click NEXT, 
  I am getting this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cannot list the available branches.
  Reason:
  Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I clone this repo?</p>
