clone url for importing existing git repo in bitbucket

Question

Hello, I'm trying to import our existing git repo into bitbucket.

In the Import promt of bitbucket I specify the clone URL as :

git clone git+ssh://our.git.server/d2/git/pending/vp

We use this often to clone our git to local repos.

Unfortunaltly Bitbucket does not accept this URL. It says : Please provide a valid clone URL.

What is wrong with tis clone URL ? what exactly doe Bitbucket expect here?

I received a workaround from the atlassian support team that basically says:

1) create a new repository in BitBucket

2) clone the source git repo  with the --mirror option

3) change the remote origin url to the url of the new bitbucket repository

4) push  the complete repo to bitBucket using the push -u origin --mirror options

We are currently using an older (4.12) version of Bitbucket. I will try this again after upgrading to a more recent version of BitBucket

yes , username and password are provided but it is still rendering the url-field in error. The only way to get rid of the error is to specify  http or https  as protocol instead of git+ssh  or ssh.
