I haven't attempted to duplicate the bug myself, so I can't confirm with confidence that it is a bug. You're welcome to download the git plugin source code, create an automated test which shows the issue, then add the changes which fix the test. If it is not using a reference repository for branch scanning, then that may indicate the branch scanning code is not passing the setting for the reference repository to the git client plugin. An automated test that confirms the reference repository is not used when scanning the repository will show the problem through a test and will provide a basis for a fix. In terms of financial cost, you'll probably find it cheaper and faster to purchase additional disc space for your master than to find and fix the issue. Attempting to save disc space is frequently much more expensive than the price of the disc drives. I know that's not the answer you were hoping to hear, but considering the price of disc space and the cost of development time, I suspect it is realistic.
