Git plugin branch to build/branch specifier help documentation on wilcards and regular expressions does not mention tags

      The branches to build/branch specifier/"name" help documentation on wildcard and regex values talks only about branches, not tags.

      This implies neither work with tags, but only branches. But I doubt that is the case?

      It should talk about the more generic term refs, or name both types of refs explicitly: branches and tags.

          Please clarify which location does not describe tags in the help. From a Freestyle job, the help for the "Branches to build" field has descriptions for <tagName> and refs/tags/<tagName>

          If your concern is that the phrasing specific to wildcards in one of the early paragraphs in that help page, please provide a pull request to help-name.html with your proposed text.

          If your concern is about a different portion of the help or a different project type, please provide more details so that the text can be found.

          What I was referring to and line-linked to on the source file is the wildcards and regular expressions section of the help text.
