I really like the Multijob plugin
(<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multijob+Plugin>), though
I see there is some encouragement to move to the Pipelines
conglomeration. For my purposes, Multijob is more straight-forward and
presents clear results. It includes a potentially very helpful feature,
the ability to skip a build if SCM has not changed since the last
successful build. But that isn't working right for us so I'd appreciate
some advice.

Most of our builds are not from the GIT master branch but from other
branches. We pass a parameter to jobs to specify which branch to use.
However, it appears that Multijob always checks for changes on the
master branch. Since that branch doesn't change often, the effect is to
skip builds which should occur.

Does anyone know a way, without trying to modify the code, to get
Multijob to check a different branch?
