title: Windows, Git and Jenkins
body: <p>I'm just starting to look at Jenkins CI on my Windows 7 machine.</p>
  
  <p>I thought for a first test I would create a git repo on my localhost which is aliased to</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://tests.local/jenkins/local" rel="nofollow">http://tests.local/jenkins/local</a></p>
  
  <p>I setup a job in Jenkins, selected Git under source code management and added <a href="http://tests.local/jenkins/local.git" rel="nofollow">http://tests.local/jenkins/local.git</a> as the Repository URL</p>
  
  <p>When the job runs it fails with the error</p>
  
  <p>ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin' : Could not clone <a href="http://tests.local/jenkins/local.git" rel="nofollow">http://tests.local/jenkins/local.git</a></p>
  
  <p>Is this a git issue or a Jenkins issue and how can I fix it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
