Description
When using the git inverse branch choosing strategy (to exclude named branches) and polling a git repo, I see the following NullPointerException in the Git Polling Log:

The project config is attached to this ticket:
Unable to embed resource: config.xml of type application/xml
I believe the cause is git plugin revision 4fc7f44. This NPE occurs in version 2.0.3 of the plugin but does not in version 2.0.1. (I have not tested 2.0.2, but I suspect it behaves the same as 2.0.3.)
A possible workaround is to enable the "Force polling with workspace" option (see JENKINS-21264), but I have not confirmed if this works.
Proposed fix in GitHub pull request #208.

reply to abierbaum: Downgrading the git plugin to 2.0.1 should allow you to work around the issue until this is fixed: http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/git/2.0.1/git.hpi
I confirmed that the null pointer exception is still visible in the log as of git-client-plugin 1.8.0 and git-plugin 2.2.0.

The suggested work around (use a workspace for polling) did not seem to work for me.

I am using Jenkins 1.580.1 and git plugin 2.3.2. I do not get this when running master as it only happens with the Inverse setting. Please help as it prevents my builds from running. Thanks in advance.
jperry that is not a null pointer exception, so I think it belongs somewhere other than attached to this closed bug. I'd first suggest that you ask the Jenkins user mailing list for help. If they are unable to help, then you'll need to submit a new bug report. You might also try using https to access your bitbucket repository rather than ssh. There has been at least one case where a private bitbucket repository is accessible from the plugin by one protocol and not by another.
I am seeing the same thing on our servers after the latest update.
