Christoph Thelen commented on JENKINS-13165:
--------------------------------------------
For the records: Since Ant 1.8.2, Git files/directories (and those of other
SCMs) are included in the "default excludes", which is why the files are lost
in a cloned workspace. Therefore this is not a Jenkins "bug" but an Ant
"feature". I have opened a pull request allowing the disabling of those default
excludes. Plugins like Clone Workspace may use this to let Git files reappear.

> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: owenmehegan
> Assignee: Kohsuke Kawaguchi
>
> I upgraded to Jenkins 1.456 today, and now my jobs that use the Clone
> Workspace plugin are having problems because the workspace tar.gz that is
> created when the job completes no longer includes the .git directory. In
> 1.449, which I ended up downgrading back to, the default setting for files to
> include always pulls that in. I've verified this by running tar -tzf on the
> workspace.tar.gz; in 1.449 .git is there, in 1.456 it isn't.
> I wasn't able to force Jenkins to include it either. I tried putting "**/,
> **/.git" and other variations on that in the list of files to include, but
> none of them seemed to work.
