When a git input is defined, master is the default, so that's why you
cannot 'see' the configuration of master. The repository that is being
passed as input to the builds, can only be changed in the web ui of
Hydra. So to change it you would need to have a login to this. If you
would like to have one I can arrange that for you, or I can change the
input for you. Let me know what you prefer.

Cheers,
Rob
