Description

As requested in allowSecondFetch ** documentation I am opening a ticket.

After upgrading git plugin to version 4.4.4 (can't recall the previous version), my Jenkins job started to fail on the checkout step because it requires the version tags, defined as bellow:

stage('Checkout') {

  retry(3) {

    scmvars = checkout([

      $class   : 'GitSCM',

      branches : scm.branches,

      doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: scm.doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations,

      extensions       : scm.extensions +

[$class: 'CloneOption', noTags: false, reference: '~/git/service-sourcing/', shallow: false] +

[$class: 'LocalBranch', localBranch: "**"] +

[$class: 'UserIdentity', email: 'dev@​nezasa.com', name: 'Jenkins CI'],

      userRemoteConfigs: scm.userRemoteConfigs

    ])

  }

}

 

Before the update the job used to output this during checkout:

**

```
05:16:32 > git fetch --no-tags --force --progress -- git@​github.com:nezasa/tb-service-sourcing.git +refs/heads/develop:refs/remotes/origin/develop +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* # timeout=10

```

 

After the update the output is (Git is now Avoiding second fetch):

**

```

05:17:02 > git checkout -b develop 68628022e4553cacb97377dfd35d54c3d3d3734f # timeout=10
```

 

Adding allowSecondFetch flag and setting it to true on the global settings seems to fix the issue but I was expecting that the Advanced Clone Setting on the job would be enough.
