Daniel Geißler edited a comment on JENKINS-26417   Re: Allow to customize refspec/tags of the clone/fetch commands As far as i can see the refspec is not used on the initial clone. Here is the relevant extract from a build with a cleaned workspace: {noformat} Cloning the remote Git repository Cloning repository gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git  > /usr/bin/git init /data/jenkins/workspace/myjob.checkoutrefspec # timeout=10 Fetching upstream changes from gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git  > /usr/bin/git --version # timeout=10 using GIT_SSH to set credentials Jenkins private key  > /usr/bin/git fetch --tags --progress gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*  > /usr/bin/git config remote.origin.url gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git # timeout=10  > /usr/bin/git config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* # timeout=10  > /usr/bin/git config remote.origin.url gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git # timeout=10 {noformat} this is directly followed by {noformat}   Fetching upstream changes from gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git using GIT_SSH to set credentials Jenkins private key  > /usr/bin/git fetch --tags --progress gitserver:/data/git/MyProject.git +refs/heads/development:refs/remotes/origin/development  > /usr/bin/git rev-parse origin/development^{commit} # timeout=10 Checking out Revision c5280c05a01a61f2ae43e46a1ee398be27cdc14e (origin/development)  > /usr/bin/git config core.sparsecheckout # timeout=10  > /usr/bin/git checkout -f c5280c05a01a61f2ae43e46a1ee398be27cdc14e First time build. Skipping changelog. {noformat} wich is the same for later Builds. I tested with:  * Jenkins Latest and greatest (1.614) * Jenkins Older but stable (1.596.3) * git-client 1.17.1 * git-client 1.16.1 * Git plugin 2.3.5 Anyone can confirm this? We have some old and heavy branches (with some binaries) that we do not want to get fetched at any time. As of today this is only possible with sparse checkouts, but they have the drawback that we can not push tags back to remote after the build.
