Multijob plugin

[CLOSE Dave]

Is it possible that I'm the only one in the world using this plugin? I
ask because I've asked questions here with no response at all. I've also
sent the same questions to those listed as maintainers on the plugin's
wiki page with no response. The wiki page seems to say there are about
16,000 users but, evidently, none who are active here. Frustrating.

In case this note gets any attention, here were my questions.

1. Multijob 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?

2. Is it possible for a job to determine if it was started by a multijob
or independently? This could be a more general question: can any job
determine how it was started, by GUI click, by remote trigger, or by
multijob?
