Hi folks,
I'm trying to use SSL client auth on Windows. My git installation currently lists only schannel as the supported backend. The problem is that this always gives me "fatal: refusing to work with credential missing host field". I can see from my server at the other end that a connection was attempted and then terminated unexpectedly. However, I'm not sure what git is expecting me to do to make this work. I suspect it is an schannel vs. openssl difference, because the same credentials work fine on a linux machine. Is there something I can do to dig deeper and understand why this is failing?

Thanks, -- Ragesh.
