[MarkRx]

Adds additional FINER and FINEST logging to git onNotifyCommit to assist with debugging - #3910

Testing done

Set hudson.plugins.git logger to ALL level. Increased log size with startup parameter -Dhudson.util.RingBufferLogHandler.defaultSize=16384

Setup a Jenkins job with polling enabled and a branch specified.

Submitter checklist

• Make sure you are opening from a topic/feature/bugfix branch (right side) and not your main branch!
• Ensure that the pull request title represents the desired changelog entry
• Please describe what you did
• Link to relevant issues in GitHub or Jira
• Link to relevant pull requests, esp. upstream and downstream changes
• Ensure you have provided tests that demonstrate the feature works or the issue is fixed

Pull request overview

Adds more detailed debug logging to GitStatus.JenkinsAbstractProjectListener#onNotifyCommit to help troubleshoot why notifyCommit events do (or do not) trigger builds in Jenkins jobs.

Changes:

• Adds FINER/FINEST logs while comparing the notified URI against configured repository URIs and while checking branch specs.
• Adds FINER logs explaining why a potential match was skipped (no repo match, ignore-notify enabled, no branch match).
• Adds FINER timing log summarizing notification processing duration.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

src/main/java/hudson/plugins/git/GitStatus.java:368

• The debug log prints the repository URI using URIish.toString(). URIish can include userinfo (and potentially a password/token), so logging toString() risks leaking credentials when FINER/FINEST logging is enabled. Prefer logging uri.toPrivateString() (and similarly for any other URIish values in this method) to redact sensitive parts while keeping the URI useful for debugging.

            if (LOGGER.isLoggable(Level.FINE)) {
                LOGGER.log(Level.FINE, "Received notification from {0} for uri = {1} ; sha1 = {2} ; branches = {3}",
                           new Object[]{StringUtils.defaultIfBlank(origin, "?"), uri, sha1, Arrays.toString(branches)});
            }
