Clone single branch does not work [message #1758136]

Hi all,

I'm currently try to clone only the master branch of a huge repository.
Therefore I tried two different approaches:

Git.cloneRepository().setURI("repositoryurl.git").setDirectory(new File("localFolder")).setCredentialsProvider(new UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider(username,password)).setCloneAllBranches(false).setBranch("master");

I thought, this is the same as

git clone -b master --single-branch repositoryurl.git localFolder

, but the first one clones the whole repository including all branches. The nativ git command works fine.

The second approach was:

Git.cloneRepository().setURI("repositoryurl.git").setDirectory(new File("localFolder")).setCredentialsProvider(new UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider(username,password)).setCloneAllBranches(false).setBranchesToClone(Arrays.asList("refs/heads/master"));

I also tried a lot of mixtures of the parameters, but jGit always cloned the whole repository.
I tried it with jGit 4.4 and jGit 4.6.

Does somebody know, how to clone a single branch with jGit?

Best,
Arne
