Custom action not showing in repository browser

Question

A custom action will not appear in the "Custom Actions" context menu that is accessed from the Repository Browser unless its Parameter starts with "$REPO"

Steps to reproduce

* Create a custom action* Set Menu caption as "Echo"
* Set Script to run as "echo"
* Set Parameters as "here $REPO"
*

* Open the Repository Browser window
* Ctrl-Click a repository and open the Custom Actions menu.
* The "Echo" action is not showing
* Now edit the "Echo" custom action* Change the Parameters to be just "$REPO"

* Now open the Repository Browser window again
* Similarly Ctrl-Click a repository and open the Custom Actions menu.
* The "Echo" action is now showing.

This is occurring in SourceTree for Mac version 3.1.1 (213) on macOS Mojave 10.14.3.

The main issue is that I have a "Garbage Collect" custom action with the following settings:

* Script to run: git
* Parameters: -C $REPO gc --aggressive

This used to work but the menu option is longer appearing in recent versions of SourceTree.

It seems the issue was not filed, but I did come to a similar conclusion and posted my findings in the comments of this issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-5822. Would that suffice?
