Ansible 2.0: Chocolatey Fails

[Slim Slam]

It's not clear if this is just because of lack of documentation (probably) or if Chocolatey routinely fails.

Here's what I'm trying to do on Windows Server 2008R2:

    - name: Add git
      win_chocolatey:
        name: git
        state: present

It appears that Chocolately, as the doc says, tries to install itself (because it is not present on the machine) but everything still fails:
