I had the same problem. I tried Constantine's solution, that worked perfectly but the tag and the commits were pushed on the "localbranchname" remote repository.

So I did the same but manually : first add a pre-steps shell script :

git branch -f localJenkins
git checkout localJenkins

Then a post-steps shell script :

git checkout master
git rebase localJenkins
git branch -D localJenkins
git push origin master
git push --tag

This works ! This way, you don't have jenkins remote branch, commits and tag will be on the master (or other) branch.

hope this helps !
