Issue: I’ve made a new finalbuilder project with one action, a Git Clone Repository. I have another finalbuilder project using Git over SSH that is working, therefore the initial setup of Git in finalbuilder is good. For this Git Clone test, instead of using the SSH for the repository address, I’m trying to use an HTTP address. It is a public repository on an internal server. When the action is run, the directory is created with directories of hooks, info, objects, and refs and some configuration files, but nothing from the repository I want to clone. Then the action then gets stuck in a running state unless I force stop the build. (Stop does not terminate a clone action.)
Question: My issue seems to be using the HTTP address for the repository instead of using SSH key connection, but I can’t explain why this is an issue and haven’t found anything on Google / Stackoverflow / VSoft forums. Has anyone else experimented with this who could provide ideas of why this can’t work or how to make it make it work? Does anyone know what is stuck in the Clone action? (I’ve allowed it to run up to a half hour, the repository is very small, it should take less then a minute.)
Git : version 1.9.4.msysgit.0

How are you specifying the url? My guess is this is an authentication isssue, Git is pribably prompting for a password. You need to either specify the username & password in the repo url or use a credential helper - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5343068/is-there-a-way-to-skip-password-typing-when-using-https-github
