     Hi Johannes,

Thanks for your response. I've already workarounded the issue by using OpenSSH.

It seems there is no simple way to configure Jenkins Git plugin to call Putty first under LOCAL_SYSTEM account, so using OpenSSH is much simpler in this case.

Best regards, -Vasily.

This is a known issue, mentioned in the release notes (https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/master/installer/ReleaseNotes.md#known-issues):
