[JENKINS-30927] 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I tried to setup a test project, using a git project connecting through ssh.

After selecting the ssh credential and adding the git URL (ssh://git@​bitbucket.org/CLIENT/test.git) I get the following message:

---------------

Failed to connect to repository : Command "C:/Progra~1/Git/bin/git.exe -c core.askpass=true ls-remote -h ssh://git@​bitbucket.org/CLIENT/test.git HEAD" returned status code 128:

stdout:

stderr: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

My setup:

GIT plugin: 2.4.0
