[JENKINS-75812] Misleading label on git client plugin configuration page

### Reproduction Steps

1. Configure Global Tool():

   - Name: `MinGit-Auto`

   - Set "Path to Git executable": `mingw64\bin\git.exe`

   - Check "Install automatically(.zip/.tar.gz)"

   - Select "MinGit" installer Url

   - Set "Subdirectory": `MinGit`

2. Create pipeline job:

groovy

   pipeline {

     agent any

     tools { git 'MinGit-Auto' }

     stages {

       stage('Clone') {

         steps {

           git url: 'http://example.com/repo.git'

         }

       }

     }

   }

 

3. Run job :

logs:

 

*Started by user Admin

Running as SYSTEM

Building remotely on [Agent_IP] (windows) in workspace $WORKSPACE_PATH

[WS-CLEANUP] Deleting project workspace...

[WS-CLEANUP] Done

Unpacking https://example.com/git/MinGit-2.50.0-64-bit.zip to $JENKINS_HOME/tools/mingw64/bin/git.exe on [Agent_IP]

The recommended git tool is: NONE

using credential Jenkins

Cloning the remote Git repository

Cloning repository http://example.com/repository.git

 > $JENKINS_HOME/tools/mingw64/bin/git.exe\MinGit init $WORKSPACE_PATH # timeout=10

ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'

hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Could not init $WORKSPACE_PATH

    ...

Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Error performing git command: $JENKINS_HOME/tools/mingw64/bin/git.exe\MinGit init $WORKSPACE_PATH

    ...

Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, 系统找不到指定的文件。

ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'

Finished: FAILURE*

### Expected Behavior

1. MinGit installs to: 

   `$JENKINS_HOME/tools/mingw64/bin/git.exe`

2. Repository clones to: 

   `$WORKSPACE/`

### Actual Behavior

Path reversal occurs:

1. Git executable path becomes invalid:  

   `$JENKINS_HOME/tools/mingw64/bin/git.exe\MinGit`

2. Repository initialization targets workspace path

3. Result: `java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2` (文件找不到)
