Getting terminal prompts disabled error when cloning a new repo

See original GitHub issue

$ scalar clone https://office.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/<...>
Skipping GVFS protocol check...
Fetching objects from remote...
Failed

Cannot clone @ /Users/sameer/enlist/<...>
Error: Failed to complete regular clone: fatal: helper error (255): Interactivity is required but has been disabled.
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://office.visualstudio.com': terminal prompts disabled

Had to manually run a git clone to complete the auth, and then ran scalar clone again to make it work

OS: Mac Big Sur

$ git version           
git version 2.28.0
$ scalar version                             
scalar 20.10.178.6

Both git and scalar are installed using homebrew

@derrickstolee No, I did the install scalar, and was using the git already installed on machine via homebrew. I did not intend to use GVFS version.

@mjcheetham I tried that, but after scalar clone shows the failure, no gcm.log is generated.
