Answer 1

Install scm-api and then try with git plugin. It works for me.

Answer 2

Install all the dependencies listed on https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin, including scm-api. I would have assumed that Jenkins checks the dependencies before starting the installation, but it's probably misbehaving somewhere.
