      It would be great to be able to ignore commits by e.g. a "build" user when polling for SCM changes. I have a build process that updates a version number during the nightly build, but this triggers an additional build of anything watching that repository. The Git plugin has such a feature - sounds useful.

          JENKINS-7239 seems more useful. Most likely you do not so much care about which user made the change, as the fact that the change only touched a particular file (version.properties or the like) which you do not consider interesting enough to warrant a new build.

          @Jesse Glick JENKINS-7239 is actually far less useful. Especially in the case if you are using Maven and the pom.xml file is altered all the time by both the build system and users (maven release plugin, and maven versions plugin).

          The Git plugin already does what this issue is requesting so people familiar with the Git plugin should be able to easily use this plugin.
