cannot find jgit getRef

[johannesjasper]

When I am running generateGitProperties I get the following error message:

Execution failed for task 'generateGitProperties'.
> No signature of method: org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository.getRef() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [HEAD]
  Possible solutions: getAt(java.lang.String), getFS(), grep(), exactRef(java.lang.String), findRef(java.lang.String), getAllRefs()

It seems to be related to #107 .
As far as I can make out, gradle-git-properties:1.5.2 uses grgit:2.2.1 which in turn uses jgit:4.11.0.201803080745-r. In that version getRef is still availbale but marked as deprecated.
In later versions it is removed in favour of findRef.

Is it possible that somehow, somewhere a newer version of grgit or jgit is used?

Never mind. I also had com.netflix.nebula:gradle-lint-plugin:latest.release included which used jgit:5.0.1.201806211838-r in its latest release. Downgrading it to 9.+ solves the issue
