[JIRA] [git-plugin] (JENKINS-6856) Git builds with detached head no matter what

Title: Message Title

Mark Waite commented on JENKINS-6856   Re: Git builds with detached head no matter what Can't you add the "Additional Behaviour" of "Checkout to a specific branch"? That will give you a named branch. Changing the plugin from using a detached head to using a branch is non-trivial if the goal is to not break a significant portion of the 70 000+ installations of the git plugin. There are too many use models and too many cases where silently switching to use a branch (instead of a detached head) would cause compatibility problems.
