I ran into some problems using the options "Check out to specific local branch" together with "Merge before build".
Branches to build is set to "origin/feature/*", Merge before build parameters are "origin", "develop", "default", "--ff". Check out to specific local branch "**" or empty string. And I always have "Clean before checkout" and "Prune stale remote-tracking branches" enabled.
One problem I found is that if the merge is not a fast forward, then the derived local branch is always "develop", also GIT_BRANCH is "origin/develop", GIT_LOCAL_BRANCH is "develop". I would always expect "origin/feature/XXX" / "feature/XXX" here. If the merge is a fast forward (so "develop" is then equal to "feature/XXX"), then the local branch and variables are as expected.
Actually I just need a variable with the original checked-out branch for the build description plugin, "develop" does not make sense here.
Sometimes I also had the following exception during build:
08:45:21 Merging Revision 0d2bb1b8746b8e949d69e76125963a8eef5c2f8c (origin/feature/XXX) to origin/develop, UserMergeOptions{mergeRemote='origin', mergeTarget='develop', mergeStrategy='default', fastForwardMode='--ff'}

Maybe there is some handling for the local branch option missing in the merge option?
I played around with the options and could not always reproduce this. It might depend on the order of the additional behaviours in the configuration, I'm not sure. I could reproduce it with the local branch option before the merge option.
