Documentation Issue

With latest MS git client, the documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-git) says to specify the git credential manager as:
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager-core.exe"

However, I needed to specify it as:
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-wincred.exe"

Why isn't this still fixed, wasted an hour trying to setup git but was missing the fact that docs were wrong
