Its your JRE.  Somehow under the test Eclipse the JRE doesn't have
access to the SSL root certificates.  JGit is just relying on the host
JRE's URLConnection to perform SSL handshaking with the remote peer
when using https://, and the test Eclipse has managed to break the
JRE's SSL root certificate list.  I'm not sure how/why.  Is it using
the same JRE?  Sometimes on Linux the root certificates aren't
installed into the JRE.
