SCM/JIRA link daemon commented on JENKINS-13007 Git plugin cannot find revision to build on Windows Code changed in jenkins User: Kohsuke Kawaguchi Path: src/main/java/hudson/plugins/git/GitAPI.java http://jenkins-ci.org/commit/git-plugin/8810661600f42c0ee2ce2d0352a2f01542b2c2af Log: [FIXED JENKINS-13007] On Windows command prompt, '^' is an escape character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character#Windows_Command_Prompt) This isn't a problem if 'git' we are executing is git.exe, because '^' is a special character only for the command processor, but if 'git' we are executing is git.cmd (which is the case of msysgit), then the arguments we pass in here ends up getting processed by the command processor, and so 'xyz^{commit}' becomes 'xyz{commit}' and fails. Since we can't really tell if we are calling into git.exe or git.cmd, the best we can do for Windows is not to use '^{commit}'. This reverts 13f6038acc4fa5b5a62413155da6fc8cfcad3fe0 and it will not dereference tags, but it's far better than having this method completely broken. See JENKINS-13007 where this blew up on Windows users. I filed https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/36 as a bug in msysgit.
