Description
The GIT plugin currently only supports build parameter expansion and not the other tokens, leading to a dichotomy whereby it provides token-macro supported tokens but it will not resolve them.
The most critical sign of this is where either slave local environment variables or folder level environment variables (when using the CloudBees Folders plugin) are not evaluated during SCM polling, and as such the polling never triggers... though there are other edge cases.
