What happened?

Attempting to bind the repository URL to a variable in a git-sourced script step is unable to evaluate the variable value at release/snapshot creation.

Reproduction

1. Create a variable holding the value of the URL to your git repo (e.g. https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OctopusClients.git)
2. Configure a script step sourcing the script from a git repository
3. Bind the Repository URL field to the repo variable
4. Attempt to create a release

Error and Stacktrace

Unable to retrieve commit details from the provided Git repository at '#{repo}', for branch 'main'. Ensure that the Uri and credentials are correct, and try again.

More Information

No response

Workaround

Specify the repo URL directly in the script step instead of binding to a variable holding that same value.
