[egit-dev] Cloning with EGit from Gerrit via http now ask for the PW

Hi,

in my Eclipse training sessions, I  also demonstrates how to clone a
Git repo with a user via http.

I instruct to copy the URL from the web interface and use Ctrl+3 to
trigger "Clone a Git repository". For example, this would be the URL

git clone https://lvogel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/r/a/platform/eclipse.platform.images

IIRC Egit used to clone the repo without the need for a password.

Now EGit ask the user for his PW during the initial cloning operation.

Has this intentionally changed?

This makes it much harder for the user to simply clone the repo and
have it configured correctly for contributions and to decide later if
they want to make contributions.

Best regards, Lars
