Similar to Downgrading to SourceTree 1.5.x from 1.6.x, but keeping up with the youngest embedded Git and Mercurial.

When logging in using the Web UI with a username
As of a few days, I was getting this error in my SourceTree output when pushing to git :
remote: Invalid username or password. If you log in via a third party service you must ensure you have an account password set in your account profile.
I think this is at least related to a change Bitbucket made 2 years ago for their site logon:
You can no longer log in with a username. Use your Atlassian account email address instead.
Source: Bitbucket
Pushing to bitbucket with cached credentials from SourceTree has worked for months. One thing that was different now (and should have given me a clue) the broken [WayBack] broken Git Credentials Manager popup showed but should not have.
When you get this credential manager you have to escape it as otherwise you will get an “Empty password” error.
Broken Git Credential Manager for Windows
Initially I blamed the error on the SourceTree 2.x upgrade I did last week. Unlike previous upgrades, this one had kept the old version (in my case 1.9.13.7) around and after a few clicks (skipping the “go to download page” prompt forever) and closing SourceTree 2.0, I fas able to start SourceTree 1.9 again.
SourceTree 1.9 had the same problem which meant it was either git itself, or the Bitbucket back-end.
To prove it was the Bitbucket back-end, I did everything An example of this is in the output below.
What helped were these steps:
https://jeroenp@bitbucket.org/jeroenp/fastmm.git to
https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/fastmm.git
Now SourceTree happily cached my credentials.
I’ve used this to scan the git config files for ones starting with a username:
grep -inSwl jeroenp@bitbucket config
Notes:
Reproduction of the issue:
C:\Users\jeroenp\Versioned\FastMM>git --version git version 2.12.2.windows.1 C:\Users\jeroenp\Versioned\FastMM>git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags --set-upstream bitbucket develop:develop Pushing to https://jeroenp@bitbucket.org/jeroenp/fastmm.git Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt. Password for 'https://jeroenp@bitbucket.org/': remote: Invalid username or password. If you log in via a third party service you must ensure you have an account password set in your account profile. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://jeroenp@bitbucket.org/jeroenp/fastmm.git/'
This has worked for months (after [WayBack] canceling the Git Credentials Manager popup as that has been broken for a very long time and gives you a remote: Empty password).
What helped was this:
C:\Users\jeroenp\Versioned\FastMM>git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags --set-upstream bitbucket develop:develop Pushing to https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/fastmm.git Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.

The story so far:
A few years back I put all my conferences material in a GitHub repository https://github.com/jpluimers/Conferences/. There were a lot directories and files so I didn’t pay much attention to the initial check-in list. The files had been part of copy.com syncing between Windows and Mac machines.
Often git on a Mac is a bit easier than on Windows (on a Mac you can install them with the
xcode-select --installtrick which installs only the Command Line Tools without having to install the full Xcode [WayBack]).
I choose a Mac because it is closer to a Linux machine than Widows so I expected no encoding trouble (as git has a Linux origin: it “was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for development of the Linux kernel“).
Boy I was wrong:
Recently I cloned the repository in a different place and found out a few strange things:
git status would show stuff like this:
Untracked files:
(use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)
EKON15-Renaissance-Hotel-D%FCsseldorf/
or
deleted: "EKON15-Renaissance-Hotel-D\374sseldorf/Delphi-XE2-Debugging/BO-EKON15-Delphi-XE2-Debugging.pdf"
git rm -r --cached call [WayBack] would not work, as both these would fail:
$ git rm -r --cached EKON15-Renaissance-Hotel-D%FCsseldorf fatal: pathspec 'EKON15-Renaissance-Hotel-D%FCsseldorf' did not match any files
and
$ git rm -r --cached "EKON15-Renaissance-Hotel-D\374sseldorf" fatal: pathspec 'EKON15-Renaissance-Hotel-D\374sseldorf' did not match any files
So git could:
All if this was with:
$ git --version
git version 1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)
First I created an alias:
alias git-config="echo global: ; git config --list --global ; echo local: ; git config --lis --local ; echo system: ; git config --list --system"
That allowed me to view the git settings on various levels in my system.
It revealed I didn’t have the core.precomposeunicode setting at all (valid values are true or false). I also read various stories about one or both being the correct value: osx – Git and the Umlaut problem on Mac OS X – Stack Overflow [WayBack].

This has been bugging me for a while: some Bitbucket repositories are abandoned but have a useful list of issues.
When forking them, you don’t get the issues and you cannot export them either (because the source repository is not yours).
Some links that might help me get started to solve this:
Being able to import from a non-exportable repository would allow me to keep issue # references in sync which would make it a lot easier for relating commit history with issues.

To get to the compare view, append
/compareto your repository’s path.
This brings you the basic comparison interface which is very flexible: just enter a branch, tag or history marker in the dropdowns for base and compare.
