This improvement is a request to add a checkbox option to the pre-SCM step to indicate that failure of the pre-SCM step should result in a build failure.

Use-case

• We're using CVS as our version control system... Checkout and rlog take a very long time... there are certain build validation operations that do not rely on files in CVS... we would like to be able to fail-fast if these validations fail... and we're using the pre-SCM step for that.. unfortunately failure of the pre-SCM step does not cause a build failure... right now.
