git plugin 2.5.2 breaks builds which use a narrow refspec but expect all refs were fetched

      The git plugin is unable to find revisions to build in environments where the current user is not Jenkins.
      This problem was introduced in git 2.5.1, 2 releases, and was not present in the 2.5.0 release.

      On builds where the build user is not Jenkins (the slave is running as a different user), the job aborts due to git errors.
      e.g:

      My current workaround is to revert all the way back to git plugin 2.4.4 (which I had laying around), and the fault does not exhibit anymore. This build is also known to have been working for months with the git plugin 2.5.0 release.
