A URI that, for example, is copied from the web (e.g., from ProjectLocker) may include a trailing space.

This may causes the following:

a) If user has not tried to connect to the git server before, EGit keeps asking for password (not passphrase). A restart of Eclipse is REQUIRED before trying again (now without the trailing space in the URI).

b) If the user has connected to the site before, Egit replies with an error message "Arguments to command look dangerous". In this case restart is NOT required.

This problem causes lot of headache and it can be very hard for the end user to discover and find the correct resolution.

I suggest that EGit at least warns about trailing characters that do not belong in the URI. Often trimming is made to handle this, but a warning could suffice. However, that a restart is required may call for other measures.
