Git plugin can't handle property references in repository URLs when polling

      We use a global property called "RepoRoot" to specify where our Git repositories live, so our repository URL's look similar to:

      ${RepoRoot}/RepoA.git

      ${RepoRoot}/RepoB.git

      This works fine when jobs actually run:

      ...
      Fetching changes from the remote Git repository
       > git.exe config remote.origin.url https://github.com/Foo/RepoA.git # timeout=10
      Cleaning workspace
       > git.exe rev-parse --verify HEAD # timeout=10
      Resetting working tree
       > git.exe reset --hard # timeout=10
       > git.exe clean -fdx # timeout=10
      Fetching upstream changes from https://github.com/Foo/RepoA.git
       > git.exe --version # timeout=10
      using .gitcredentials to set credentials
       > git.exe config --local credential.helper store --file=\"C:\Users\FOO\AppData\Local\Temp\git6742298409525835661.credentials\" # timeout=10
       > git.exe -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress https://github.com/Foo/RepoA.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
      ...
      

      But we're seeing errors similar to the following in our polling log:

      Fetching upstream changes from ${RepoRoot}/RepoA.git
       > git.exe --version # timeout=10
       > git.exe -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress ${RepoRoot}/RepoA.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

      Done. Took 2.3 sec
      

      If I hard-code the repo root rather than use the global property reference, polling starts working.

      From the polling log, it appears as though the polling code is:

      1. Not resolving global property references in repo URLs when assembling git command lines

      2. Possibly incorrectly appending trailing forward slash characters to repo URLs

      Thanks folks, love your work.

          Does anyone have a good solution for this? we use a global property to set a lot of jobs, can its painful to set them individually, the global property would work great if it actually worked... right now, it keeps building on everything since it doesn't recognize the global property

          Right now, we use our variable everywhere except in the git config, where we re-type it all. This at least reduces the places it's set to 2 and not 3+. Ideally, it would just be in the one place. We would also like this addressed.
