Description: When saving a job configuration, some characters are XML-escaped, e.g. the phrase 'echo "Hello World"' is stored as 'echo & amp; quot;Hello World& amp; quot;'.

If this XML-file is uploaded to Jenkins through the http://myjenkinsserver/createItem API, the escaping is removed. If the job is run or manually configured and saved, the escaping comes back

This causes among other things a lot of confusion when comparing different versions of the config file, either through the Jenkins Job History feature or through a version control system if the configs are stored there.

The XML-escaping is not necessary, although not incorrect. A consistent way of handling it would however be preferred.
