[JENKINS-29842] Parameters not expanded in the Repository browser URL field

I have a parametrized job where the parameter value is being replaced as expected in the git Repository URL field. However if I use the same variable in the Repository browser URL, the parameter is not expanded on the https://my-jenkins-server/job/my-job/job-num/ pages build info pages.

On that page, the repository links are showing up as "https://my-git-server/${REPO}" instead of have "${REPO}" replaced with the parameter passed to the job.

The job is using the correct repo otherwise, so does look like the ${REPO} replacement is working for the Repository URL field.

I'm using the gitlab version 6.8 as the repository browser.
