      Git client plugin 1.5.0
      Git plugin 2.0

      The GIT_SSH fix for JENKINS-20356 only works if the Git program is installed in the default location on Windows. I had installed to a different location and had updated the PATH variable to find that non-default location. All the typical plugin operations worked, except this recently added code for JENKINS-20356 was not able to find ssh.exe.

      The message is misleading, since the issue is not that the plugin only supports official git client. The plugin could not find the ssh.exe program on the simple paths it checked. Unfortunately, it did not search the PATH, it only searched in the ProgramFiles directory, and I had installed to a different drive in order to save space on a small disc that was hosting ProgramFiles.

      Stack trace looks like this:
