      the git client tries to obtain the location for SSH but fails if the ssh client is not installed with the official git plugin, or uses an incorrect ssh binary if ssh.exe is otherwise on the path.

      This has multiple implications:

      1) it just fails outright as it can not find ssh.exe despite it being on the path (C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe})
      2) it may pick the incorrect the ssh.exe binary which may not be correctly integrated with the windows os to load certificates etc thus having different behaviour between the git plugin in jenkins and running the same commands on the command line directly as the Jenkins user.
