Jenkins GIT Plugin

[Pradeep Murugesan]

Hi all,

 I need to get the Author and message of the latest commit that jenkins is building upon. I see that there are no env variables for it.

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin#GitPlugin-Environmentvariables

I used printenv to see the variables set and AUTHOR / COMMITTER EMAIL and NAME are not set at all.

So I forked the source code to see what is happening and saw that name and email are populated from global config and not from the commit.

GitSCM.java

public void populateEnvironmentVariables(Map<String,String> env) {
            String name = getGlobalConfigName();
            if (name!=null) {
                env.put("GIT_COMMITTER_NAME", name);
                env.put("GIT_AUTHOR_NAME", name);
            }
            String email = getGlobalConfigEmail();
            if (email!=null) {
                env.put("GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL", email);
                env.put("GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL", email);
            }
        }

Am I missing something here. Please let me know if anyone already captures the parameters I am mentioning,
