Related to doing a 'Build Now' or building a job manually with a parameter corresponding to a branch to checkout, the Git Plugin behaves differently from when polling.

The Git Plugin will as shown below checkout the branch specified by the job parameter but the branch "refs/remotes/origin/ready/mybranch" have the prefix the remote reference with "refs/remotes" (instead of nothing as in "origin/ready/mybranch") when using polling.

The problem occurs in the our code around the following lines, where we check the branch .startsWith "prefix".

GitBridge.java:

{{// An example on several BuilData - visualized can be found in 'docs/More_than_1_gitBuild_data.png'
for(BuildData bdata : data) {
// Assume no trailing slash in configuration - we won't match then.
if(bdata.lastBuild.revision.getBranches().iterator().next().getName().startsWith(resolveRepoName()+"/")) {
// No we now the git build data contain a branch that matches the integration repository name.
// Eg. Branch 'origin/ready/feature_1' matches 'origin' configured as integration repository}}

We should investigate it further, before actually changing our code

• make a test to reproduce it
• why does the Git Plugin bahave differently in the two work flows
