Was the stack trace different on the attempt with the git:// URL? The stack trace you listed shows that "git fetch" failed, which would usually mean that the repository did not complete its download.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15708490/jenkins-hanging-at-fetching-upstream-changes-from-originsuggests that you might have added the msysgit "cmd" directory into your PATH before the msysgit "bin" directory. Jenkins needs the msysgit "bin" directory in the path rather than the "cmd" directory. The "cmd" directory can be added to the PATH without the "bin" directory by the msysgit installer. It has three alternatives to provide git functions to the user. One of them only adds "cmd" to the PATH, the other adds "bin" to the PATH (and the third option adds nothing to the PATH).
