Hello,

To be exact, the polling is done since the last polling took place (because
with Clearcase it can become *very* expensive to poll if you have excluded
regions and didn't build for a long time)

Polling since last successful build would result in non-stop build as soon
as a change that breaks the build is introduced (because that same change
would always trigger a new build even if no other commit has been done)
