The administrator can then define an environment variable for each agent which is the path to the parent directory of the reference repositories and then use that environment variable in the job definition. You could download the pull request build <https://ci.jenkins.io/job/Plugins/job/git-plugin/view/change-requests/job/PR-575/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/git.hpi>, test drive it in your environment, then report your results in the pull request <https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/pull/575>. That will help the Jenkins project and may solve your problem as well. > Also as an aside, what happens if a build is fetching from a reference > repo while the reference repo itself is fetching updates? > Command line git has locking mechanisms that update the object store before updating the index.
