      When hudson is doing a cvs poll it detects changes when a file has been locally
      modified. Sometimes it might not be desired to trigger a build when a local file
      has been modified, because this could have been caused by the previous build.

      Possible solution for this would be to ignore certain files known to be locally
      modified.

          'cvs update' is already passed the '-C' option to clobber any source
          modifications that might have been made during the previous build. If
          CVSSCM.parseUpdateOutput is treating any output from this command which solely
          consists of reverting a local modification as an upstream change, then that is a
          bug, not an RFE.

          Well-behaved build scripts will not make any such modifications to begin
          with, of course; but accidents happen, and it is desirable for Hudson to recover
          without manual intervention by starting every build with a clean source tree,
          especially if the build script is fixed later.

          issue 3123 is being used in the hudson changelog, so i'll mark this as a dup of
          that.
