If you add the certificate to your trusted roots certificate store on your
client machine, that should allow your client to trust the certificate
without a warning (assuming the subject name matches the DNS name you use).
That also assumes that your source control client uses the Windows crypto
stack for doing SSL and not something else. If it uses something else, you
may need to configure some sort of cert container that is specific to that
implementation.
