The second one ("gitlab") is provided by the git plugin and retains the
version parameter for compatibility with previous releases of the git
plugin and very old GitLab servers. The version parameter was needed many
years ago when GitLab changed their URL format. Users should generally
leave it blank. As far as I can tell from my small tests, it is working as
expected.
The first one ("GitLab") is provided by the GitLab branch source plugin and
knows that the GitLab installation is modern enough that it does not need
to worry about version compatibility. In my installation, it appears to be
broken in at least some of the use cases. When I configure a freestyle job
in Jenkins 2.289, set "GitLab" as the repository browser, and save the job
definition, a stack trace is reported to the Jenkins log:
org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException:
jar:file:/var/jenkins_home/war/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.289.jar!/lib/hudson/listScmBrowsers.jelly:43:77:
<st:include> No page found 'config.jelly' for class
io.jenkins.plugins.gitlabbranchsource.helpers.GitLabBrowser$DescriptorImpl
Once that stack trace has been generated, the job cannot be edited until I
modify the config.xml file of the job to remove the browser definition. I
believe the fix is relatively straightforward and I may attempt to submit a
pull request to fix it. I've reported the issue as
https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-branch-source-plugin/issues/138
I believe that I had tested it previously and there was a time when it
worked, but it is not working for me now with GitLab plugin 1.5.21-SNAPSHOT
and gitlab branch source plugin 1.5.7.
