GIT_STRATEGY="none"

I have a simple job:

deployapp:
  stage: deploy
  variables:
    GIT_STRATEGY: none
  tags:
    - deploy-server
  script:
    - echo OK

According to the GitLab CI documentation, GIT_STRATEGY="none" should omit the GIT clone/fetch phase, right? But my job always crashes with the following:

Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.7.0-rc.1 (8f8cbc3)
Using Shell executor...
Running on DEPLOY_SERVER...

'"git"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Cloning repository for test_strategy_none with git depth set to 0...

The system cannot find the path specified.

Checking out d682a101 as test_strategy_none...

'"git"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

ERROR: Build failed: exit status 9009

My questions are: 1.) Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? 2.) Should the GIT_STRATEGY="none" skip git clone/fetch? If so, why does it crashes? Is git required in the path env. variables, even if GIT_STRATEGY="none"?

Thanks
