Actually, the problem was that Jenkins runs as the Local System account
instead of Administrator. This meant that I was inserting the credentials
into the wrong Windows Credentials Store. I updated my Chef code[1] to run
the credential insertion[2] as the System Account and then it all works
fine even though the Git plugin is requesting the "store" credential
helper. What ends up being used is the Git Credentials Manager from
Microsoft ("manager") which uses the native Windows Credential store.
