[JENKINS-25049] Git plugin ignores Refspec when triggering build on commit nitification

Default refspec according to the documentation is

+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/REPOSITORYNAME/*

When I click on "Trigger build" in Stash's pull request overview, my job fails, because it cannot find commit in the specified refspecs (because commit is in pull requests, not in heads).

 > C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe rev-parse "1c2ead96dfe52f7f0675161f025c2541ede93782^{commit}" # timeout=10
