Description

Original: While configuring a job with Git SCM, using either "clean after checkout" or "wipe out workspace before build" a workspace containing directory junction (on Windows slave), the symlink (junction) is followed, and delete files in the directory referenced by this symlink. This is a problem since other job are using these files... Note that it only affects Windows slaves; when run on a Linux slave, it does not follow symlinks.

New: A job is configured with Git SCM, and either "clean after checkout" or "wipe out workspace before build" option is enabled. If the workspace contains a 'directory junction' (Windows slave) then, the "clean"/"wipeout" will follow the symlink (junction), and will delete files in the directory referenced by this symlink, and not just the symlink. This is a problem since other jobs are using these files... NOTE: it only affects Windows slaves; when a similar job is run on a Linux slave, it does not follow symlinks.
