[JENKINS-62116] Organization Scan recreates hooks for all repository

The organization scan recreates a hook for all repositories for which there is an item. We can see that the WebHook of each repository is recreated:

Apr 30, 2020 12:42:10 AM FINE com.cloudbees.jenkins.GitHubWebHook$1 apply

Calling registerHooks() for dse-team-apac/aburdajewicz/testOrg/private-repo

Apr 30, 2020 12:42:10 AM INFO org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.WebhookManager$1 run

GitHub webhooks activated for job dse-team-apac/aburdajewicz/testOrg/private-repo with [GitHubRepositoryName[host=github.example.com,username=test-org,repository=private-repo]] (events: [PULL_REQUEST, PUSH])

Apr 30, 2020 12:42:10 AM FINE org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.WebhookManager$3 applyNullSafe

Replaced hook https://github.example.com/api/v3/repos/test-org/private-repo/hooks/32393 (events: [PULL_REQUEST, PUSH, REPOSITORY])

Apr 30, 2020 12:42:10 AM FINE org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.WebhookManager$3 applyNullSafe

Created hook https://github.example.com/api/v3/repos/test-org/private-repo/hooks/32395 (events: [PULL_REQUEST, PUSH, REPOSITORY])

The GitHub audit log is then showing a "hook.destroy" / "hook.create" for each repository. API rate seems to be wasted and those recreation seem unnecessary. The difference of events is odd too: [PULL_REQUEST, PUSH] vs [PULL_REQUEST, PUSH, REPOSITORY]. It seems related to how GitHub Plugin and GitHub Branch Source work together.

h3 How to Reproduce

• Configure a GitHub Server under *Manage Jenkins > Configure System > GitHub* and enabled "Manage Hooks"


• Create a log recorder in *Manage Jenkins > System Logs* for org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.WebhookManager, com.cloudbees.jenkins.GitHubWebHook


• Create an GitHub Organization item that match at least one repo


• Run the Organization Scan a few times

Check the log recorder and also the Audit log at $GITHUB_ORG_URL/settings/audit-log, You shell see that hooks are replaced on Organization Scan.
