I had this problem in my setup.
Our git repository has a very large number of branches and I discovered that limiting the number of branches the git plugin should consider sped it up a lot. However, since we needed to be able to have Jenkins build out of new branches as they are created, this was difficult to manage. I eventually gave up on the git plugin entirely and now do everything with direct git commands or scripts which call git commands. Unfortunately, the git plugin just doesn't seem to be able to scale efficiently to a large number of branches as git itself does. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
