[JENKINS-59736] No new commits used if LocalBranch checked in same workspace

Reproduce steps:

• Create branch


• Execute pipeline with LocalBranch


• Add commits to branch


• Repeat pipeline in same workspace - no new commits will be used from original

Criteria to reproduce:

• Usage of LocalBranch extension


• Usage of original branch name containig '/' symbol

Problem in class:

hudson.plugins.git.util.DefaultBuildChooser#getCandidateRevisions

Example Pipeline:

node('master') {

    stage('Checkout'){

script {

    String url = 'https://example.com/repository.git'

    //: Branch name containing `/` symbol

    String branch = 'feature/branch'

    String credentialsId = 'secret-credentials'


    //: Checkout original

    checkout scm: [

$class: 'GitSCM',

userRemoteConfigs: [

    [

url: url,

credentialsId: credentialsId

    ]

],

extensions: [[$class: 'LocalBranch']],

branches: [

    [name: branch]

]

    ]

    //: Change local history

    sh('git reset --hard HEAD^')

    //: Checkout one more time - local history will be used

    checkout scm: [

$class: 'GitSCM',

userRemoteConfigs: [

    [

url: url,

credentialsId: credentialsId

    ]

],

extensions: [[$class: 'LocalBranch']],

branches: [

    [name: branch]

]

    ]

}

    }

}

Workaround:

Execute before checkout

sh('rm -rf .git/refs/heads/*')
