Thanks for your reply. The goal of the plugin is to maintain Jobs configurations between a Jenkins instance in 'production' and another one in 'pre-production'. The goal of the 'pre-production' is to test upgrade of Jenkins and its plugins before apply updates to 'production' environnent.
My first idea is not to implement version control support. I would like to compare file line by line and merge part of them if, for example, the job in pre-production has been modified because of a regression during testing. This plugin will allow me to apply some modifications directly without repeating manual actions in the production environment, which can be source of problems I hope to be sufficiently clear. 2012/7/6 Linards Liepiņš <linards.liep...@gmail.com> > And you want it to implement w/o version control support?
