[JENKINS-32582] List Subversion Tags default tag fails for Poll SCM trigger

The List Subversion Tags default tag (e.g. "trunk") is not obeyed for Poll SCM trigger. Instead, the most recent tag from a manual build is used. This makes it unusable for the most natural use case: nightly triggered trunk rebuilds plus manual branch builds.

Best workaround is terrible: trigger a rebuild on Success, with parameters to override tag:

fail=t

svn_tag=trunk

Build script aborts with failure if fail=t, stopping the infinite build loop, but always leaving the job in a failed state. Ugh.
