bower.config in VS 2015 (RTM): packages versions are not loading correctly

While working the VS 2015 RTM, I found that IntelliSense in bower.config file cannot load the versions of the packages. the problem is reported here , and the solution that worked for me is to install the git tools and run the command git config --global url."http://".insteadOf "git://" then restarting VS. this will hopefully solve the problem.
