Latest Version

I could reproduce the problem in the latest build

What happened?

If you try to use a project variable or any other octostache expression in the commit to git repository url property, the step will fail when it attempts to parse the octostache expression as a git remote url as it doesn't evaluate the variable before doing so.

Reproduction

1. Create a project with a repository url project variable
2. Add commit to git step and bind the repository url property to the variable you created earlier
3. Attempt to deploy

Error and Stacktrace
