Git plugin version 2.3.5, jenkins version 1.613.
When trying to link the job with my GIT repository (i am using bitbucket) , I am getting this red error message:
Failed to connect to repository : Could not init C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson6773377567759656092tmp

This is interesting because I can successfully clone this repository from git bash. The project uses login credentials rather than SSH keys.
The git.exe ls-remote <repo url> command also works correctly from git bash.
I believe i have my permissions set correctly, all the online forums i have looked at have been no help, many have said it must be a bug with the git plugin.

Here is the info on the failed build when i try to build the project in jenkins.
