So is it expected that all git installations will work on all platforms, even if the job can only be built on certain platforms? I didn't think so - so I assumed that the polling etc. would occur only on the appropriate node(s). If that is the case, then it seems as if the only appropriate path to the git executable would be "git" as you suggested (assuming the git executable will be found in the path and that the ".exe" suffix for windows is implicit/not-necessary).
For some reason, the PATH variable defined on the OS/X slave for the user running Jenkins didn't seem to be used - thus "git" was not found and therefore we defined an alternate (platform specific) installation of git for Mac with an explicit directory instead of overriding the default installation just for the slave (which I didn't know I could/should do).
