The git plugin does not have any requirement that there be a branch named
master.
It would have been clearer if I had said that Simba's job definition is
referring to a branch named master, or a reference named origin/master, but
for some reason that reference is not available in that repository.
The reference could be unavailable in the repository because the working
repository was damaged. It could be unavailable because the refspec used
to clone the repository did not include the master branch (though the
refspec which is logged in the "fetch" statement indicates that is not the
case). It could be unavailable because the job definition used the
advanced setting to rename "origin" to something else. There are likely
several more possibilities for why the reference "origin/master^{commit}"
cannot be resolved.
The absence of a branch named master is not a problem for the Jenkins git
plugin as far as I know.
