Jenkins CI and GitHub post-receive hooks ceasing to work (+ potential solution)

All projects fail

Recently our Jenkins CI system began having issues with failing to correctly accept post-receive hook POST requests from GitHub, even though it was working fine.

Git and checkouts by date

Cheers to this very handy post for posting details from Nabble on how to check out a git branch based upon the date it was commited.  If I haven’t modified Wordpress to turn off the character replacement, then watch out because the double-quotes and double-dash will need to be checked before running the command:

git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2009-07-27 13:37" master`

A very easy way to flick back to a given revision.
