Summary

Original: Git plugin: prune tags on submodules

New: Git plugin: fetch and prune tags on submodules

Description

Original: There is no option to fetch and prune tags on all submodules in Jenkins. In our environment, it happens in rare cases that tags are force-pushed on the main repo and on submodules. We did not find any way to reflect the actual tags before build using Jenkins, except with a full repository wipeout. We tried using a command such as {{git fetch --prune origin "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*}} in the build steps, but this fails as the credentials cannot be used at that stage.

We did not find any way to reflect the actual tags before build using Jenkins, except with a full repository wipeout. Also we have a case where a new tag on the submodule repository was not present on our builder at build time. We tried using a command such as {{git fetch --prune origin "refs/tags/{*}:refs/tags/{*}}} in the build steps, but this fails as the credentials cannot be used at that stage.
