Hi Mark, thanks for spotting it! I tested 1.466.1 RC1 with git plugin 1.1.21 and everything works fine for me. You probably suffer from JENKINS-13007 [1], the last comment under this issue also states that this issue start to appear on linux since 1.1.21. It obviously appear only on some machines, but I have currently no idea what triggers this problem.
In 1.1.21 was one commit related to this issue [2], but it should affect only windows machines... Just for sure, could you please go to $JENKINS_HOME/script and run following command: Functions.isWindows() if Jenkins for some strange reason thinks that it runs on windows?
