Pipeline Checkout: git branch - no branch

[Sverre Moe]

BRANCH1

+ git branch

* (no branch)

BRANCH2

+ git branch 

* (HEAD detached at 5abd860)

The same project, but one branch does not return any branches on `git branch`.

Any clue as to why?

[Sverre Moe]

I found out the reason for it.

As we build on different Linux distributions, we also are subject to different versions of git installed.

The no branch was given on a Linux build agent with git-1.7 (yes a very old Linux distribution, SLES 11).

Perhaps a solution here would be to use the Jenkins tools support, making sure we have the same version of git installed everywhere.

Or enable JGit and use it. JGit does not have all the features of CLI git and it does best with repos that are 50 MB or less.

The git plugin stopped trying to support versions older than 1.8.3 several years ago. Once Centos 7 goes off support, the plugin will probably stop trying to support versions older than 2.11
