Valentin Rentschler commented on JENKINS-11547:
-----------------------------------------------
Any combination of Jenkins/git-plugin where this does not occur?
> Jobs trigger continually even though there are no changes due to git
> repository being "corrupt"
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: JENKINS-11547
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11547
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: git
> Affects Versions: current
> Reporter: James Cook
> Priority: Blocker
>
> There is a problem with the git polling mechanism which is causing all our
> jobs to kick themselves off continually. This happens at random times and
> just fixes itself, but is causing us all sorts of problems due to the large
> number of builds triggered.
> This is an example of the git polling log:
> {noformat}
> Started on 28-Oct-2011 03:20:22
> Using strategy: Default
> [poll] Last Build : #480
> [poll] Last Built Revision: Revision abcb8a2492b390521e0c720f96f66a88eae09f18
> (origin/master)
> Workspace has a .git repository, but it appears to be corrupt.
> No Git repository yet, an initial checkout is required
> Done. Took 0.26 sec
> Changes found
> {noformat}
> This is caused when a "git rev-parse --verify HEAD" fails for some reason,
> but there is no logging to help in what might have gone wrong. It looks like
> the try/catch around the [validateRevision
> line|https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/git/GitAPI.java#L115]
> is too simplistic and the cause of the exception should be considered before
> returning false.
