When the git plugin is used for a job, the git commands used by the plugin are generally listed in the job output. What you listed seems to be even prior to job execution, so there is no way for you to see what the git plugin is doing.
An argument type mismatch is surprising. There are relatively few hits in a google search of Jenkins git IllegalArgumentException. You'll need to provide more information before others can help you resolve the issue, since I doubt there are many others seeing the issue. Some of the common information which can help with diagnosis is described at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/How+to+report+an+issue . The steps listed there "before you submit a bug report" are good helps for diagnosis.
