Answer 1

This is how I solved it:

I ran the sysinternals tool psexec to spawn a CMD which is running under the LocalSystem account (same account like jenkins service is running)

PSEXEC -i -s -d CMD

In this cmd prompt I executed the same git command from the workspace directory as the hanging GIT.exe processes do. E.g.

d:\Programs\Jenkins\jobs\jobname\workspace>D:\Programs\Git\bin\git.exe fetch -t ssh+git://gitpub@my.server.com:9360/data/gitpub/myRepository.git +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/

Et voila: I was prompted to enter "yes" to add the SSH key to the known list of known hosts.
