[JENKINS-34540] Add build parameters to environment variables to allow checkout specified tag

[bozaro]

I try to create a "Pipeline" with string parameter "TAG_NAME" and "Pipeline script from SCM" with "Branch Specifier" = "refs/tags/${TAG_NAME}" (I attached job file to this issue).
But this don't work (looks like TAG_NAME is not pass to environment variable) with error like:

ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job.

But on old-style "Freestyle Build Job" I can use parameters in branch specifier.
Also, this issue can not be work around by Jenkinsfile content.

Sounds like https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-28447 that should be fixed itself without overloading plugins with hacks.

JENKINS-28447 is one year old. I do not believe that he will be fixed soon.

I agree with @KostyaSha that this should not be in the git plugin. Wouldn't it be better to propose a pull request (with unit tests) to the workflow plugin on behalf of JENKINS-28447 instead?
