[JENKINS-56156] It's not possible to trigger a build via webhook push when there is no new commit

I have a pipeline declaring the following checkout:

checkout(

{{ poll: true,}}

{{ scm: [$class : 'GitSCM',}}

{{ userRemoteConfigs : [[}}

{{ credentialsId: <>}}

{{ url : <>,}}

{{ ]],}}

{{ branches : [[name: '**']],}}

doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false,

{{ submoduleCfg : [],}}

{{ ]}}

)

When I now create a new branch via Bitbucket GUI Jenkins is notified.

But the Git Polling Log is saying:

I can not find any configuration to make this job run when there is no new commit.
