Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 19 release candidate
### What happened
When you have backslash in git user name you cannot use git client. The error is http://user\name@gitserver/gitpath/repo.git: cannot open git-upload-pack
I tried modifying git config by entering double backslash or %5C, but outcome is same.
### How to reproduce
Use git account with backslash in username and run any git command
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
### Operating System
Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64; UTF-8; pl_PL (nb)
### JDK
17.0.8; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 17.0.8+9-LTS-211
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans provided installer
### Anything else
_No response_
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Windows 10 with a Git account whose username contains a backslash, using the NetBeans Git client and any Git command. Start by tracing how the client constructs and opens the repository URL; done means Git operations succeed without the cannot open git-upload-pack error.
