I wonder if the sematnics of scm.gitTool are closer to the GitTool object
semantics inside the git plugin. GitTool inside the git plugin allows job
owner to choose which git implementation will be used. It doesn't allow
the job owner to specify the destination of the git executable.
You might try defining a new git implementation in the "Global Tool
Configuration" under the "Git installations" section. You can set the git
location from that spot in the configuration and give that new git
installation a distinct name ("win-git"). Then assign "win-git" git
scm.gitTool and see if that has the desired affect.
