[JENKINS-24648] Git poll always finds changes when there is none when used with Gerrit trigger strategy

I have gerrit configured to react on changes in all branches (**) but the buids are using the property $GERRIT_BRANCH set to ref/heads/my_branch

WHen polls are running i see that the last built revision matches the ones that are available in mainline - there is no other revisions that are coming from the git ls-remote command that poll uses. Yet git poll reports it found changes and it triggeres the rebuild.

in changes list for the project all latest builds are having the same one commit over and over again.
