Has anyone tried to put the Jenkins configuration directory tree (less the workspace sub-directory) under SCM control? (Similar to William Soula's suggestion)
Creating a second Jenkins instance could be as simple as: - install Jenkins from scratch - configure it to put the workspace somewhere else - go command line and replace the existing Jenkins config tree by cloning the repository - in Jenkins: reload the config from disk I haven't done this (yet), but it seems plausible.
