Tried to switch from subversion client to git and found myself unable to authenticate on server (svn:// scheme with username/password authentication).
git svn says "Authorization failed: Cannot negotiate authentication mechanism at /lib/Git/SVN.pm line 148"
This issue exists on several versions of msysgit, including latest 1.8.0-preview20121022 and 1.8.1-preview20130110.
Cygwin's version of git can fetch from this.
Found
that link which looks like same problem, although I don't know if server encrypts transfer with SASL.
