Use-case: We have one repository for multiple operating systems, but different Jenkins jobs per operating system. Each job wants to get triggered if it's platform-specific files got modified, but not when the other platforms got modified.

We should be able to specify multiple filespec entries, where a filespec entry could be a fully-specified path, or a path containing a wildcard.

http://stackoverflow.com/q/5243593/14731 shows there is demand for this, but I'm using Mercurial instead of git. This feature should really apply across all SCMs.
