[JENKINS-66102] Branch Discovery Strategy: "Only branches that also filed as PRs" excludes "master" as well

Branch Discovery Strategy: "Only branches that also filed as PRs" excludes "master" as well.

This looks expected in first look but this behaviour makes this option mostly unusable practically.

 

As a user, I always expect to see main branch ("master") discovered.

 

Is there any workaround to this in current implementations? I want to only discover branches filed as PRs + main branch ("master").
