Britain Crooker commented on JENKINS-11023:
-------------------------------------------
This would definitely be a good feature to add. Our workspace is 2-3GB, and
definitely doesn't need to be included in the ZIP. We have been manually doing
the ZIP process up until now and this would make for a much cleaner mechanism
to do this.
Ideally this would also be an option when triggering the shelving via the HTTP
GET option.

> Recently unshelved some old projects & hit build.
> Because of the timestamp changes(?) every file in the workspace got marked as
> out of synch with CVS & there ensued much churning of bits as each file was
> set aside & re-pulled from the repo. Took _much_ longer than a fresh checkout.
> It would be nice if there were a "Wipe out workspace first?" option during
> shelving.
> Given the nature of what you're doing, you likely don't need to archive it
> anyway
