John Engelman reopened JENKINS-13174:
-------------------------------------
The fix that was implemented for this breaks sub-repository support in the
plugin.
The patch ignores all files that start with '.hg'
{code}
if (changedFile.startsWith(".hg")) { // .hgignore, .hgtags, ...
{code}
However, this will excludes files such as .hgsub and .hgsubstate that when
changed, should be triggering a build.
> Stop changeset tags from being counted as a change in Mercurial Plugin polling

> Key: JENKINS-13174
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13174
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mercurial
> Affects Versions: current
> Reporter: Neil Kay
> Assignee: jglick
>
> We have the slave build machines polling Mercurial repositories, using the
> Mercurial plugin, to trigger builds.
> During the Jenkins job, we create and push a tag changeset as part of the
> build process.
> This tag changeset is detected by polling and causing an infinite loop of
> builds.
> I've looked into other options, I notice the notice away from polling to be
> more push activated, which sounds good, but it seems this still relies on
> polling to detect what has changed, so it seems this would still be a problem.
> The other thing that sounded like it may help was "modules" in the Mercurial
> plugin, but this is a huge change to move lots of repositories to put
> everything except the hgtags file into a sub folder and then specify that sub
> folder as a module.
> If tag changesets were ignorred by polling, similar to a change that was made
> to ignore merge changesets, all would be good in the world :)
