      I updated to branch API plugin 2.5.0 today. When I scan a multibranch Pipeline (Git branch source or GitHub branch source) the first time after the upgrade to branch API plugin 2.5.0, all jobs in that multibranch Pipeline are started. That means (in my case) that I now have more than 500 jobs in the queue waiting to run.

      The "Scan repository log" of the multibranch job shows:

      Each repository reports that changes are detected in the transition from null to a SHA-1. However, I know that almost every one of the branches in that repository have received no changes since before the update.

      Once the initial scan has completed and the resulting rebuild of all branches is complete, then the "Scan repository log" starts no job and the change detection message says:

      No changes detected: master (still at 49101d07a954d083cae4bb0a06aaa081c6ae0fc8)
