[JENKINS-23299] Project building from tag builds at each polling interval

I have a job I changed to build from a tag. However, I'd left the polling enabled. I noticed that the job built every time that it polled. The polling log shows:

Done. Took 0.39 sec

I noticed that the ls-remote command is being passed "-h", which I believe is causing the issue. The -h would exclude tags. Thus:

$ git ls-remote -h git@​hostname:my/project mytag

Yields no results, but removing the "-h":

$ git ls-remote git@​hostname:my/project mytag
