Not able to clone/list TFS repo

Question

Reading this doc I got an impression that I should be able to use git-tfs to get the contents of a TFS repo in order to clone some branches: https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs/blob/master/doc/usecases/manage_tfs_branches.md

Tried these commands:

C:\Workspace.Git\Corp>git tfs list-remote-branches https:/scm.domain.com:8443/tfs
Given tfs name is not correct URI and not found as a registered TFS instance

C:\Workspace.Git\Corp>git tfs list-remote-branches https:/scm.domain.com:8443/tfs/DefaultCollection
Given tfs name is not correct URI and not found as a registered TFS instance

C:\Workspace.Git\Corp>git tfs list-remote-branches scm.domain.com
Given tfs name is not correct URI and not found as a registered TFS instance

where https:/scm.domain.com:8443/tfs is the server address which I use in Visual Studio 2012 to connect to TFS. It has DefaultCollection with several projects.

What is wrong with the server name I am supplying?

Didn't you forget a '/' for the 'https://' protocol in the uri? — Philippe, Mar 14 '17 at 22:37
@ajeh Have your issue been solved? Make sure you could also be able to access the collection by `https://scm.domain.com:8443/tfs/DefaultCollection` in your IE explorer. — PatrickLu-MSFT, Mar 16 '17 at 09:46

You are using the wrong url, lack of / and the collection name. Try this:

git tfs list-remote-branches https://scm.domain.com:8443/tfs/DefaultCollection

Will get the info like below screenshot
