git-credential-winstore works perfect with github and bitbucket repositories, but the prompt does not pop up while working with self hosted repositories. I can' t see what the problem is.

I' ve tried :

git config --global credential.helper winstore

via console 

[credential]
    helper = winstore

in gitconfig and created and stored the credentials manualy. Without success. Can anyone point me to te right direction please? Im using Win7.

Best regards.
