[JENKINS-22861] build is not triggered automatically if branch specifier contains wildcards

I create a free-style software project, and config branch specifier to "*/feature/**" in order to build automatically when Stash receives a push to those branches. Git Plugin receives the NotifyCommit:

Triggering the polling of xxx

But nothing happens as expected, except the first initialise fetch.

When changing branch specifier to 'origin/feature/category' or '*/master', everything goes well. 'SCM changes detected' appears on System log.

The screenshot attachments are configs of my project.

I can't figure out what's going wrong, please help me.
