How to clone git repository using ansible under microsoft windows

Ansible 2.1, control host under centos7, number of windows 10 as clients.

I need to clone git reposritory on remote side, but no idea how to do this:

I've tried something like:

- name: clone repositories
  git:
   repo: "{{ item.repo }}"
   dest: "C:\openserver\domains\{{ domain_name }}\{{ item.value.path }}"
   version: "{{ item.version | default('HEAD') }}"
  with_items: "{{ repositories }}"

if not too late, you can use something like this

- name: clone repositories
  win_command: >
    "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe"
    "--no-pager"
    "clone"
    "http://user:[email protected]/OpenCorpora/opencorpora.git"
    "C:\OPenserver\domains\opencorpora.local\www"
    "--branch"
    "master"
    "--recursive"

reference https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_usage.html

Ansible recommends to use script module, i used raw module instead (is this way less secure than script module?):

- name: clone repositories
  raw: C:\OpenServer\modules\git\cmd\git.exe clone https://github.com/OpenCorpora/opencorpora.git C:\OPenserver\domains\opencorpora.local\www

Prerequirements: msysgit installed (C:\OpenServer\modules\git\ in my case ), or native git client for windows (see here: https://git-scm.com/download/win)

PS Unfortunately, i don't know today how to use native client with default install path (with whitespaces):

- name: clone repositories
  raw: C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe clone https://github.com/OpenCorpora/opencorpora.git C:\OPenserver\domains\opencorpora.local\www

It fails with error:

TASK [website_win : clone repositories] ****************************************
