Summary:                    git-remote-https doesn't accept passwords longer
than 8 charakters
Description: 
We want to use git with https and ldap authenfication.
I installed CSWgit 1.7.10.2,REV=2012.05.12. (sparc, solaris 10)
It seems, that git-remote-https doesn't work with passwords longer than 8
characters. With 8 characters it works.

Example: password 9 characters
bash-3.2$ git clone https://bellus3/git/myrepo.git
Cloning into 'myrepo'...
Username for 'https://bellus3': 
Password for 'https://kaempfer@bellus3': 
fatal: Authentication failed
bash-3.2$

Example: password 8 characters
bash-3.2$ git clone https://bellus3/git/myrepo.git
Cloning into 'myrepo'...
Username for 'https://bellus3': 
Password for 'https://student@bellus3':
