I don't think the plugin is the problem in your case. If it is, you've
found a glaring failure in a widely used plugin. It is possible, but seems
unlikely.
The log entries you listed seem to confirm that the plugin performs the
fetch and the checkout of the latest SHA-1. That is the functional
equivalent of a "git pull". I suspect there is something else wrong in
your job configuration.
You might try inserting a first build step "git log -n 1" to report the
most recent checkout in the working directory before your actual build
steps begin.
You might try inserting a final build step "git log -n 1" to report the
checkout in the working directory after your build completes.
You might double check that your build script is building from the working
directory, not from some other directory.
You might also describe the platform where you're running the job, any
non-default settings you've used for the git plugin configuration of that
job, and if you are using other plugins which may interact with the git
plugin (like one of the Gerrit plugins).
Thanks,
