It's saying still fetching from the Remote GIT repository instead of the Reference repository.     But my building folder is also containing an alternate file which referring the reference repositoty.                Can anyone help me out what's going on ??? Thanks all if you guys can solve my situation or can anyone tell me what's actually happening here ? Add Comment

Please don't use the bug tracker to ask questions. When we use the bug tracker to ask questions, we spend the time of the very few people that monitor specific bug queues rather than allowing a larger community of users to assist with answers to the questions. In this case, command line git silently uses a reference repository to reduce network data transfer and the amount of space used on the disc. The highest confidence technique to confirm use of a reference repository is to compare the size of the contents of the .git directory in a workspace that used a reference repository with the size of the contents of the .git directory in a workspace that does not use a reference repository. If they are approximately the same size, then content from the reference repository is not being used to save space. Please do not reopen this issue with further questions.

Please don't use the bug tracker to ask questions.  When we use the bug tracker to ask questions, we spend the time of the very few people that monitor specific bug queues rather than allowing a larger community of users to assist with answers to the questions.

In this case, command line git *silently* uses a reference repository to reduce network data transfer and the amount of space used on the disc.   A reference repository does not *clone* from the reference.  It clones from the defined repository and *uses* the reference repository to save space and reduce network data transfer.

The highest confidence technique to confirm use of a reference repository is to compare the size of the contents of the {{.git}} directory in a workspace that used a reference repository with the size of the contents of the {{.git}} directory in a workspace that does not use a reference repository.  If they are approximately the same size, then content from the reference repository is not being used to save space.

Please *do not reopen* this issue with further questions.  Use the Jenkins mailing list or the Jenkins chat systems to ask questions so that more people can help with the answers to those questions.
