I have a Windows7 box that does our CI build and I need it to push a new branch to a mapped Git repo via file://. Basically, if I run the same commands in a Git Bash or Cygwin console, they work fine. Running through Jenkins, I'm getting an error with an pre-pended C:\Program Files pre-pended path in the git push statement. Here's the Jenkins Shell code:

#!/bin/bash
cd ../GIT_REPO
git add -A
git commit -m "Updated CI build for version $BUILD_VERSION_NUMBER_NEW based on $ACCUREVCOMMENT. This build was triggered by $BUILD_CAUSE"
git branch "RC_$BUILD_VERSION_NUMBER_NEW"
git push -v file:///cygdrive/g/repo.git "RC_6.0"
git push -v file:///cygdrive/g/repo.git "RC_$BUILD_VERSION_NUMBER_NEW"

The output looks like this:

Pushing to file:///cygdrive/g/repo.git
fatal: 'C:/Program Files/Git/cygdrive/g/repo.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Pushing to file:///cygdrive/g/repo.git
fatal: 'C:/Program Files/Git/cygdrive/g/repo.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Now, I've tried several iterations of the file:// string including using g:, etc. I've also tried to switch the version of shell in Manage Jenkins from cygwin to Git Bash to no effect. Please help. I need to be able to push via mapped drive to this particular Windows server.

Please help!
