having some problems when using jgitversion in Jenkins

[lwiechec]

I have a build that I run in Jenkins continous integration server. There I use git plugin that checks out the 'remotes/origin/refs/master' . Then when I run the jgitversion Ant task, I am getting error:

E:\Jenkins\jobs\CSD R and D - test and build installer - master\workspace\build.xml:1783: org.gitective.core.GitException: Revision 'master' could not be resolved

I really tried to 'convince' Jenkins's Git plugin to checkout 'master' but it insists on tracking the remote's master; that's where jgitversion fails.

Can I 'tell' jgitversion not to use master?...

I managed to solve this 'issue' by telling Jenkins's git plugin to checkout to named local branch that I called 'master'.
