Daniel Beck commented on Bug JENKINS-21785

binary: Please provide some references (i.e. code) for your claims. Because that's not how the plugin works AFAICT.

Externals that are checked out inherit the credential defined for the location which is explicitly being checked out (e.g. SVNUpdateClient.doCheckout() call). Only if these don't work, Additional Credentials are needed.

No such "inheritance" or association to an explicitly configured location exists for externals when polling for changes, they're just another location (automatically, by the plugin) defined in the project – but one without explicitly specified credentials, requiring fallback to Additional Credentials immediately.

Adding this association, or just adding all credentials already used in the project for any external being checked out, would be an improvement. And these are the only options I see right now for the 'Improvement' to go.
