I'm having problems with Eclipse taking my credentials for git.

The repository I'm accessing as an Microsoft Azure GIT repository. I only have the problems through Eclipse. I'm able to use my credentials through git-bash with no problem. I had problems with cygwin git rejecting but I copied the .git-credentials created by git-bash and it works fine.
The credentials in the git-bash .git-credentials file contains secure PersonalAccessToken git tokens. Cygwin had clear text with foreign characters encoded.

I believe git is having issues with foreign characters. Namely, the new password I'm using that ends with a percent sign. If I change the password so it does not end with percent, it works fine. Why is this? Will this ever be fixed? Does anyone know a way I have have eclipse point to my .git-credentials file instead?

JGit has no implementation for the .git-credentials file. In Eclipse, you should get a dialog asking for the credentials (username, password), with an option to store the values in the Eclipse secure store. Subsequent attempts to do git operations with the same URI will then read the credentials from the secure store.

Note that the userinfo part of a URI must be percent-encoded. See bug 549690 for a discussion.

This file is managed by this git credentials helper:
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
Currently JGit does not support git credentials helpers.

I tried other variations of my password and I could not get Eclipse to work at all. I did find a solution though. I used a personal access token which was available in my "User Settings" through MS Azure Git.
