Seeing the error below on trying to access Azure Devops repositories, following new install of TEE:

An internal error occurred during: "Loading section 'All Repositories'"
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.eclipse.egit.core.RepositoryUtil org.eclipse.egit.core.Activator.getRepositoryUtil()'

Eclipse 4.23
TEE 14.137.0

This is caused by this.

As workaround downgrade JGit/EGit to 5.11 or use Eclipse 2021-03.

See also my Stack Overflow answer here.

I may be able to fix this. RepositoryUtil is still there but is now an enum. There are 4 spots in the code that make reference to Activator#getRepositoryUtil. @howlger Can you provide steps to get to the error? Do I need a git-based ADO server?

Sorry, but I'm not an user of the TFS plugin. I saw this Stack Overflow issue with the stack trace and I knew about the change in EGit that caused it, so I looked into the code and shared my findings. Maybe one of the issue reporters, @atmcq and @kris-mart, or the one who asked on Stack Overflow can tell how to reproduce it.
