This plugin has some really nice features and is very well done, however, there is a show-stopper for me in that it only works in the context of the root project. When working with git, the plugin looks for a '.git' subdirectory which would exist in the root of project directory that is checked out. My build actually occurs a couple directory levels below. It seems a simple call to project.getRootProject() in the GitScmService would remedy this...
