Description Shawn Minto CLA 2011-08-24 14:27:17 EDT 
The current "hack" that uses '\' to determine if we should create NTCredentials can fail on some repositories as '\' can be a valid character in a normal username, causing the credentials to be in the wrong format.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-08-26 08:14:12 EDT 
Agreed, it should be more obvious and less error prone to enter NTLM credentials.
