      Git client plugin 2.0.0 seems to have swapped from using .gitcredentials to GIT_ASKPASS and when I have an & character in my password the authentications fails. 1.21.0 was fine (and reverting to that version swaps back to using .gitcredentials)

      Escaping the & in the password stored in the credentials by using ^& works round the issue (but if the same credentials are used elsewhere then they will break)
