Git tool chooser ignores node-specific tool locations

      The git tool chooser appears to be ignoring node-specific tool configurations.

      In the Global Tool Configuration, we have a Git tool (Default) configured as git.exe, as we run Jenkins on Windows. On a macOS node, we have the same tool configured as /usr/local/bin/git.

      When running a pipeline build with the Git plugin's "Disable performance enhancements" checked, it successfully uses /usr/local/bin/git. However, when unchecked, the git tool chooser tries to use git.exe, which doesn't work on the macOS node. I would expect the node-specific tool configuration to override the global tool configuration in this case.

       

      Sample error:

       

      The recommended git tool is: git.exe
