In our Jenkins server we have some disabled jobs as templates with generic names like "

{stream}

_

{branch}

_

{module}

_

{purpose}

" which also have in its content the subversion url as template format "https://

{svn_url}"

We noticed a lot of warnings in our logs (2000 per hour) regarding subversion commit notifications involving these disabled jobs because it cant recognize the url.

This kind of operations running "hudson.scm.SubversionRepositoryStatus doNotifyCommit" should not be involving disabled jobs in the first place.

This makes it hard to analyse real problems when the log file is cluttered with this kind of warning.
