How to I pass GIT's username and password to gradle plugin?

Question

I'm trying to release using the gradle release plugin but whenever the plugin is using GIT, it's not passing my username and password:

I 'm invoking it as:

I'm using:

C:\GradleReleaseTest>gradle --version

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 2.11
------------------------------------------------------------

Build time:   2016-02-08 07:59:16 UTC
Build number: none
Revision:     584db1c7c90bdd1de1d1c4c51271c665bfcba978

Groovy:       2.4.4
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.3 compiled on December 23 2013
JVM:          1.8.0_66 (Oracle Corporation 25.66-b18)
OS:           Windows 7 6.1 amd64

My gradle release configuration looks as:

release {
    failOnCommitNeeded = true
    failOnPublishNeeded = true
    failOnSnapshotDependencies = true
    failOnUnversionedFiles = true
    failOnUpdateNeeded = true
    revertOnFail = true
    preCommitText = ''
    preTagCommitMessage = '[Gradle Release Plugin] ${release.releaseVersion} - pre tag commit: '
    tagCommitMessage = '[Gradle Release Plugin] ${release.releaseVersion} - creating tag : '
    newVersionCommitMessage = '[Gradle Release Plugin] ${release.releaseVersion} - new version commit: '
    tagTemplate = '${version}'
    // May decide to add additional custom tasks here
    buildTasks = ['build']
    scmAdapters = [
        net.researchgate.release.GitAdapter
    ]
}

The error I'm getting looks like:
