Enhances Pipeline plugin to handle branches better by automatically grouping builds from different branches.
Automatically creates a new Jenkins job whenever a new branch is pushed to a source code repository.
Other plugins can define various branch types, e.g. a Git branch, a Subversion branch, a GitHub Pull Request etc.
See this blog post for more info:https://jenkins.io/blog/2015/12/03/pipeline-as-code-with-multibranch-workflows-in-jenkins/
To determine the branch being built - use the environment variable BRANCH_NAME - e.g. ${env.BRANCH_NAME}
