ls-remote is indeed sufficient to retrieve branches HEADs, and we got such
a change implemented in 2.4.0 development build, BUT git plugin do have
some legacy logic to only consider tip branches, i.e. exclude branches that
are ancestors for other branches. As a result, we ended with infinite build
I agree, it is poor user experience to require a workspace if one is not
really needed.
Will you be investigating further and submitting one or more bug reports
describing the problems you've found?
Will you be submitting pull requests (with tests) which show the problems
and then show that your
I don't see why polling via a workspace should be required. 'git ls-remote'
is sufficient to determine branch names and SHA1s, and thus to determine if
there are any changes to build. And in any case, there will be no
workspace, since all builds on lightweight docker containers, torn down

Considering how poorly a number of developers think of the maven project
type, aren't you at least tempted to try a multi-branch with a maven build
step, rather than using the maven project type? I think your users will

I've recently been using the multi-branch plugin with great success. It
automatically creates a new job for each branch it detects, rather than
"hiding" the detection of a new branch inside the execution history of a
single job. You might experiment with it to see if it meets your needs

So I'm trying to set up the git plugin to build feature branches.
Features are on branches like feature/foo and feature/blah. This is a
common pattern as it's derived from git-flow.
I seem to have tried every combination of branch specifiers, and all this
results in is jenkins building the same S
