I'm using hg-git with TortoiseHg to try to push my existing repository to GitHub. I'm authenticating with HTTPS, rather than SSH. I added my username and password to TortoiseHg just like for BitBucket.

But TortoiseHg says that the remove server gives 401.

All the examples I could find for authenticating with hg-git use SSH rather than HTTPS.

How can I convince TortoiseHg to cough up my username and password to GitHub?

Turns out that a different combination of Google keywords reveals that this is a bug in some library which was fixed a few months ago so updating TortoiseHg solved the problem.

    what version worked for you? with v3.1.2 (x64) I'm getting 404 not found errors. What magic keywords led you to the answer? – matt wilkie Oct 25 '14 at 07:27
