(SOLVED)

Hi, I had the same issue when trying to do a parametrized release build from a branch with maven-release-plugin:2.5.3 and maven-scm-provider-jgit:1.9.5.

I wanted to be able to select the branch for the "parametrized release build" this did not work and when I chose "Checkout/merge to local branch (optional)" it worked but ended up with a branch "origin/origin/mybranch" in remote (repeated origin).

So:

• Add "Git Parameter" to "This project is parameterized"
  Name: branch
  ParameterType: Branch
  Click Advanced:
  Branch Filter:origin/(.*)
  (this was the trick!)

• Git Repository:
  Branches to build: refs/remotes/origin/${branch}

• Additional Behaviors: -> Check out to specific local branch
  Branch Name: ${branch}

Have fun :-)
