Mark Waite commented on Bug JENKINS-16737

I agree that wiping the workspace is just a temporary fix. Unfortunately no one (including me) has been able to provide a set of steps which will consistently show the problem. Without a set of steps to consistently show the problem, I have no reasonable way to decide if the bug is fixed.

My "thought experiment" to prevent a more serious problem (fail the build) when a minor problem happens (cannot compute the author of one of the changes) was to return an author that is wrong (like "Unknown Author <unkn...@bad.example.com>" rather than throwing a RuntimeException. Is it better to fail the build with a RuntimeException when the author of a change cannot be computed, or is it better to return an author that is wrong but does not fail the build?

Is an accurate author for each change more important than a passing build?
