We execute one and the same job config.xml both on Linux and Windows slaves. 

It uses a commit ID as a branch specifier. This configuration works perfectly on Linux but it fails on Windows. 

I see double quotes are added to the commit ID on Windows, but I am not sure if that causes the problem.

Failing windows output:

Could it be a configuration issue on my side? I cannot say :/
