Sorry Nicolas... Here is the long (actually not too long) story...
The Jenkins job supports both Continuous Integration (CI) and On-Demand builds.
CI builds are initiated when developers push a commit to our Stash server, in
which case it makes an HTTP call to the Jenkins server with the Stash URL. For
jobs that match the URL, Jenkins checks the branch specifier to determine
whether a code change was made for that branch; and if so, then executes the
job. If the branch specifier is "$OVERRIDE_BRANCH", then the CI build is not
executed (even though it should be executed.
So, long story short, in order to get CI builds to work, I had to set the
branch specifier to or CI branch ("develop").

Subject: Re: Modifying Git branch dynamically
sole option I can see is to set branch specifier to $OVERRIDE_BRANCH with
default value to "develop"
So can't give advise without the long story ;)

Hi,
Background
Our Jenkins build job uses Git with a default branch specifier set to 'develop'.
A build input parameter "OVERRIDE_BRANCH" allows the user to specify an
alternative Git branch. A Groovy script build step looks to see if
$OVERRIDE_BRANCH has been specified, and if so, it checks out that branch for
the build.
Problem
When I run a build, it runs successfully. However, when I navigate to the
Jenkins build output page, it lists the Git code Changes for the develop
branch. This makes sense, because Jenkins has no way of knowing that our Groovy
script changed the branch.
Question
Is there a way in Jenkins to tell it that the Git branch (and hence
corresponding Git revision) has changed?
NOTE
I know one "solution" would be to change the Git default branch specifier to
the $OVERRIDE_BRANCH parameter; however, that is not desirable for some other
reasons. Long story...
Thanks for reading this and any help.
Bob
