I want to retrieve the code branch name during Java packaging. I am using the git-commit-id-plugin. In the git.properties file generated when running on my local computer, the value of git.branch is the branch name. However, in the git.properties file generated during packaging on the Jenkins environment server, the value of git.branch is the commit ID. 

• The Git Commit ID Maven Plugin from https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin also fails to extract the branch (unsure why)

Here jenkins checks out the code in detached head mode.

Note:- We had reached out to manitainer for this plugin and he asked to get fix from jenkins, Please find the link below for your refernce.
