[JENKINS-33584] git-parameter-plugin cannot fetch tags from other repositories

It seems that git-parameter-plugin cannot fetch tags from other repositories, meaning that if you want to create a deployment job in jenkins you cannot really do it because the repository that you are checking out is usually the utils/devops one and not the one that you want to deploy.

Current implementation limits our options considerably. Maybe someone knows a workaround that works with GitHub API?
