Why can't I get a credential manager to save my password in TortoiseGit?

TortoiseGit keeps asking for my password when I interact with a remote.

I've just (re-)installed Git v2.7.4 and TortoiseGit v2.0 but when I go to credential manager and set these settings as most of the advice I've read suggests:

I get this:

What am I doing wrong / how can I get this up and running?

Edit - I checked and .gitconfig is writeable and looks like this:

[user]
    email = [email protected]
    name = Jon Cage
[core]
    autocrlf = true
    excludesfile = C:\\Users\\jonc\\Documents\\gitignore_global.txt
[credential]
[credential]
[credential]
[credential]
[credential]
[credential]
    helper = wincred

There was a bug in TortoiseGit 2.0.

TortoiseGit 2.1 was just released where this issue is fixed.

== Bug Fixes ==
* Fix the the credential helper settings dialog

Probably this will help. There are multiple approaches (winstore, _netrc file, using Advanced on Git > Credential) - use whatever is working for you, since in Git philosophy there is more than one way to do it.
