Git checkout hangs after update on 2.59
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-44120Note the hiccups ATH was experiencing on master and now on stable branch too are gone. (I have reconfigured both builds to use JDK 8 a while ago but version 7 was hardcoded in the build script for some reason which is something I have not noticed. ATH was broken in a way Jenkins log was not preserved so it was not easy to find out without fixing the bug first.)
