sbt-git not working on Windows machines

[broilogabriel]

Just for the record in case someone face the same issue.

I'm having problems to build the project with the following setup: Intellij 2017.3.4 + Windows 10

It seems the issue is caused due some problems with sbt-git (sbt/sbt-git#100). The stacktrace displayed in Intellij is:

Invalid response.
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=384M; support was removed in 8.0

To be able to work I disabled the plugin in my local since I have no choice of OS for now, I'll try to investigate further later.
