be able to configure the name of the remote per user property

[elonderin]

Describe your idea

ATM the name of the remote seems to be hard coded as origin, which causes the plugin to fail:

[ERROR] Failed to perform fetch
org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.InvalidRemoteException: Invalid remote: origin

Expected Behavior

I personally rename my remotes to o which causes the plugin to fail.
So having a way to config this would be great, preferably as a user property, so that can be easily overridden from CLI w/o having to mod the POM

Thanks for this ticket!
Indeed the "origin" seems hard-coded (e.g. https://github.com/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-plugin-core/blob/cb3375a7ec1dfb722c1387cc1e15b73df5cd2f87/src/main/java/pl/project13/core/JGitProvider.java#L235). Interestingly the native-part of the plugin (using the actual underlying git binary) uses just ls-remote (refs https://github.com/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-plugin-core/blob/cb3375a7ec1dfb722c1387cc1e15b73df5cd2f87/src/main/java/pl/project13/core/NativeGitProvider.java#L323). So perhaps an <useNativeGit>true</useNativeGit> would do the trick?

<useNativeGit>true</useNativeGit> do work in this case.

There is a chance there are multi remotes being set in config file.
Options we have here are

1. Having a way to config target remote "subsection" that we want to get
2. Having the same solution as NativeGitProvider by using git ls-remote --get-url command ?
3. Just use <useNativeGit>true</useNativeGit> cause it's using command git ls-remote --get-url to get remote url now already.
4. Get name 'remote' from section 'branch' with subSection equals current branch. And then get name 'url' from section 'remote' which subsection equals to target remote.

thx! -Dmaven.gitcommitid.nativegit=true works for me.

However, for general usage i think it would be best to give this a config element and an user property to be set via CLI only.
