I marked this as an improvement instead of a bug because I am not sure if 'scmName' is designed to show the information I'm looking for.

I am trying to figure out how best to do custom build tags for multi-repo builds, based on some internal business rules we have for tag name and content. One thing I noticed while looking at build results through the API is that the 'scmName' property under 'buildsByBranchName' is not populated, even if I give each repo a name under advanced, or have 'unique scm name' selected in my job config. This is true w/ both the multi-scm config and when using the git plugin directly, so I think it's a git plugin 'issue'.

I think it would be easier to match output to repo if the scmName property reflected the custom name I put in the job config. Or if another property displayed that information. See below for an example of what I'm looking at.
