Describe the bug

According to the official documentation, in order to let Spring Cloud Config Server use JDBC backend, I only need to add the spring-jdbc dependency and run it with a jdbc active profile.

However, it appears that by adding only the spring-jdbc dependency and run the config server with a jdbc profile, it still tries to use Git, and since the app does not have Git config properties, it fails to start.

Instead, if I use the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency which of course includes spring-jdbc (and a few more) and run the config server with a jdbc profile (this is still required as per testing), it connects to the database and the app can start.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Invalid config server configuration.

Action:

If you are using the git profile, you need to set a Git URI in your configuration.  If you have set spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap=true, you need to use a composite configuration.

Samples

I have set up a minimal project with multiple branches: spring-cloud-config-server-jdbc-test

Success?	Branch	Link
No	fail-using-spring-jdbc	spring-cloud-config-server-jdbc-test - fail-using-spring-jdbc
Yes	ok-using-starter-data-jpa	spring-cloud-config-server-jdbc-test - ok-using-starter-data-jpa

How to start

Run the run.bat script.

1. It will run a mysql Docker container with the database name that matches my Spring configurations.
2. Then it will build and run the config server.

(There is no schema initialization because this is not necessary in reproduction of this issue.)

Can you try using spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc?

Can you try using spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc?

Thanks for your suggestion. This works. Umm, may I know if the documentation actually refers to this dependency?
