Erik, thanks for pointing that out. I have removed the exclusions for 2.11.x and 2.10.x, even though they have not yet caused trouble. This gives us consistency between the builds.
I do not know the precise circumstances that cause a build flood, but it seems that removing the exclusions stops it once started. This worked both last time and this time. There are many bugs filed against Jenkins git-plugin. I did not find an exact match for this situation (ignores and continuous retriggering): https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-6658?jql=project%20%3D%20JENKINS%20AND%20component%20%3D%20git-plugin%20AND%20text%20~%20%22ignore%22 Also, I see no reason to exclude docs and geogig as developers may be building them locally. Leaving them included will allow Jenkins to detect breakage. Kind regards, Ben.
