In GitLab 13.3 and later, this endpoint [returns data for any pipeline](pipelines.md#get-a-single-pipeline)
including [child pipelines](../ci/pipelines/downstream_pipelines.md#parent-child-pipelines).
In GitLab 13.5 and later, this endpoint does not return retried jobs in the response
by default. Additionally, jobs are sorted by ID in descending order (newest first).
In earlier GitLab versions, jobs are sorted by ID in ascending order (oldest first).
In GitLab 13.9 and later, this endpoint can include retried jobs in the response
with `include_retried` set to `true`.
