I'm trying to write a plugin that needs information from SCM plugins.

I'm having trouble extracting information from the Git plugin. I think it has some bugs that are causing it to not report data even though there's a great good deal of code in there to generate the answers.

Specifically, I can't find any incantation of scm/api/json that returns useful data in the repositories attribute. It seems to be an empty list. JENKINS-14588 reports that the 'branches' field is also empty. I'm curious if the root cause is similar for both or if they're separate issues.

{
"browser" : null,
"type" : "hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM",
"branches" : [
{

}
],
"mergeOptions" :

{ "mergeRemote" : null, "mergeTarget" : null, "remoteBranchName" : null }

,
"repositories" : [
{

}
],
"userRemoteConfigs" : [

{ "name" : "", "refspec" : "", "url" : "ssh://git-server:29418/projectname" }

]
}
