[JIRA] (JENKINS-16654) Add a checkbox to disable the mercurial changelog calculation

Jesse Glick commented on Improvement JENKINS-16654

If you do not need the changelog calculation, why are you using the plugin at all? Just add a shell build step

if [ -d .hg ]; then hg pull -u; else hg clone … .; fi


I guess the plugin can be useful for more exotic features like repository caching and (in the future) Credentials integration, but for most jobs its only real purpose is making the changelog.



Also I wonder what kinds of repositories make changelog generation slow to begin with. You need to pull the new changesets anyway, so the overhead is just running a certain log operation. It is possible there are avoidable inefficiencies in the options passed to this command.
