This issue is just for documentation, since the issue went away with the update to gitlab-branch-source 1.4.4. Before that, a merge request would do a "fat" instead a lightweight checkout to read the Jenkinsfile and I cannot reproduce the issue when just a lightweight checkout is done.
Pipeline sample code to have something to talk about:
def repo = checkout scm echo repo.GIT_COMMIT
This works correctly for branch builds, but not for merge request builds and the strategy "Merging the merge request with the current target branch revision" - when using that strategy, GIT_COMMIT points to a revision which doesn't exist after the merge, but instead to the merge commit from the "temporary" chechout which was done for reading the Jenkinsfile.
