Multibranch triggers configuration

[Spamme]

Hello, I was testing the multibranch job in jenkins (1.642.4) because I
wanted to trigger a (visual studio) build after each commit in a branch,
because it happens very often that our developers commit broken code.
I had configured the multibranch project with the jenkinsfile and it builds,
after I wanted to trigger the build with a web hook from visualsvn (I hope
to switch soon to github), but I discovered later that this feature is
broken (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-33020). The other two
available options are: "Build Periodically", what is a bad idea and
"Periodically if not otherwise run", which doesn't seem to better than the
former. There also no SCM poll option. Therefore I'm quite puzzled, how
should be used this multibranch job? How it can be configured to build a
branch as soon as something is committed to the SCM? Because the only
trigger that could do it is broken since months, therefore there should be
another way to achieve it, or not?

Worth mentioning that the MB "build" is not a build of the code, but indexing of the repo for branch status. So if you schedule it to build every 5 minutes, it will re-index the repo every 5 minutes - but only build the branches that have changes in them and only when there is a change (or however you configure it)
