An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Net (Error).An error occurred while sending the request.

I just downloaded the latest version of the Visual Studio tools for GIT.

I have a .NET project stored in GIT on an internal server, available over https using Apache with a self-signed ssl certificate.

Cloning the GIT repo in Visual Studio over https does not work and I get the error:

An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Net (Error).An error occurred while sending the request.

If I turn https off, cloning the GIT repo in Visual Studio over http works.

I can clone the repo over https on the same machine using git command line tools.

Any workarounds or is this a bug and if so is there due date for a fix?

thanks
