Currently there's an option "Clean Build" that does some extra cleaning
// file: ./src/main/java/hudson/plugins/mercurial/MercurialSCM.java if(clean) { if (hg.cleanAll().pwd(repository).join() != 0) { listener.error("Failed to clean unversioned files"); throw new AbortException("Failed to clean unversioned files"); } }
But if this option isn't checked the plugin still clean all local modifications cause it calls "hg update" with --clean option.
// file: ./src/main/java/hudson/plugins/mercurial/MercurialSCM.java updateExitCode = hg.run("update", "--clean", "--rev", getBranch(env)).pwd(repository).join();
It would be useful to have an option not cleaning local modifications. If it's possible to do so when "Clean Build" unchecked it looks pretty simple to implement. But I'm not sure it's a proper way to do that.
