GIT_BRANCH is incorrect in build steps when branch choosing strategy is set to inverse (but it is correct in build name macro)

      Context: I'm trying to create a parameterized job chain for our branches.
      Version info:
      Jenkins 1.450
      Git 1.1.15
      build-name-setter 1.3
      parametrized trigger 2.12

      1) Set the git branch to */master and in advanced, select branching strategy = inverse
      2) Set the build name (using plugin) to #${BUILD_NUMBER}.${GIT_BRANCH}
      3) In the build, use shell to execute: echo ${BUILD_BRANCH}
      4) Push a change into a branch in git then manually start the build in Jenkins

      Result:
      The build string is set correctly to the branch used in step#4, but the echo in step #3 incorrectly says origin/master. Note, that the wrong GIT_BRANCH is also sent in my parameterized trigger.

      The setting for GIT_BRANCH is correct at all times when Default choosing strategy is selected.

          [JENKINS-12655] GIT_BRANCH is incorrect in build steps when branch choosing strategy is set to inverse (but it is correct in build name macro)

          note: Step#3 above should say echo ${GIT_BRANCH}

          Here is the build log. As you can see, it knows the GIT_BRANCH at one point, (at the "commencing build" line),
          then loses that information in the build script, when it gets echoed.
