When used, this parameter will present a build-time a choice to select a Git tag (or revision number) which set a parameter for parametrized build.
Be aware that git does not allow us get additional information (like author/commmit date) from a remote URL this plugin will silently clone the project when your workspace is empty. This may take a long time when we have a slow connection and/or the checkout is big.
Often the parameter defined in the "Name" field is used to specify the branch of the git checkout.
