Your problem is really puzzling... I think I have seen that before but now I cannot remember what was the solution. Would it be possible to see the job configuration, the config.xml file?
If not, here are some shots in the dark: Do you use Delete Workspace plugin to delete workspace after the build? Do you run Jenkins on Windows? Does Jenkins call git.exe directly or do you have a wrapper script for it? -- Sami 2012/4/24 dwalling <dwall...@adobe.com>: > yes, leaving it blank and letting it default to ** works just fine for > snapshot builds.
