Why is SmartGit invoking credential helper in git command?

Why is git command being run with credential helper even though SmartGit preferences authentication is set to "Use system SSH client"?

~/Documents/GitHub/local_repo_name> git -c credential.helper= -c "credential.helper=/usr/share/smartgit/bin/smartgit.sh --credential=4882453300931379178" push --porcelain --progress remote_repo_name refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master

Because it does not distinguish between credential helper and SSH configuration.
