I got this problem all of a sudden with three projects:
Jenkins gives me this error:
Checking out Revision 123456 (origin/master) FATAL: Could not checkout null with start point 123456
For each project I logged into the jenkins server
sudo su jenkins
cd /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/myproject
git status
# Not currently on any branch.
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
git checkout master
git pull origin master
This worked for two of my projects. On the third, I got:
git checkout master
fatal: object 234567 is corrupted
I simply deleted the directory and re-cloned it from source, and it started working again
I just did this a few minutes ago, so I'll check in again tomorrow to see if the problem resurfaces.
Thanks man! It really helped.
