I have "worker" instances on AWS, windows unfortunately, that require
me to sysprep a base instance before imaging it.  This process removes
saved git credentials.  I want to use a scheduled task on startup to
pull a repo to ensure the servers are always using the most current
code without having to reimage them for every change.  How can I
store/use credentials, either standard or SSH, neither of which works
now, so they persist?
