| if the git plugin fails to launch git on windows it logs the error as an int in the jobs console log. however on windows the failure is likely to be a HRESULT which is an unsigned int and you need to know that in order to google to find the underlying cause. Most users who have never interacted with the windows API probably don't know that. therefore in addition to an error code (which could be returned by git/ssh) the request is to add the hex to the log with perhaps a pointer to the [MS documentation|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-erref/596a1078-e883-4972-9bbc-49e60bebca55] and the git documentation (if there is any) explaining the error codes. (Jenkins also has a lookup from HRESULT to human text - so as an added bonus this could be used as well). |
