sourceBranch not passed from Parent build to Children

[michaelhill86]

Hello,

When selecting a branch to build against in the Chain Builds Starter, this information is not passed through to the child builds that are then triggered. As the sourceBranch parameter isn't provided to the child builds the default branch for the definition will be used. Attempting to set this in the build parameters doesn't appear to work as the VSTS 'Get Sources' runs before any of these parameters can be set.

We gave up using the built in 'Get sources', just set it to 'Don't sync sources' in 'Advanced settings'
Then make a script to checkout sources by passing parameters from the 'Start builds' something like this:

"Build_XX" : [
{
"Target" : "targetToBuild",
"REV" : "155",
"Build.SourceVersion" : "e9652327b16dae29e71ad1658dd8c504b97b0d81",
"Build.SourceBranchName" : "master",
"Build.Repository.Uri" : "http://uri"
"Clean" : "false"
},
Then you have full control of what to build...
