In the configuration options document under the credential.credentialStore heading it says gits built in credential cache is supported on windows. (https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/blob/main/docs/configuration.md#credentialcredentialstore)

However, in the credential stores document under the Git's built-in credential cache heading windows is not in the "available on" list. (https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/blob/main/docs/credstores.md#gits-built-in-credential-cache)

It appears to me that even when I set credential.credentialStore to cache the windows credential manager is still used. I think the document that says git's built in credential store is not supported on windows is correct.

Correct, Git for Windows doesn't support git-credential-cache git-for-windows/git#3892
