We use a complex build pipeline where different branches, public or private, all trigger the same job. In that context, the changelog between jobs is senseless because the previous job may be on a different branch. When this happens the changesets generated get extremely large. With many people pushing code and browsing jenkins at the same time, we observe that it becomes very slow, nearly unusable, under load, due to CPU cycles being used to generate git changesets.

We need a way to disable changeset generation altogether, by toggling a checkbox in the option menu.

Pointers to the relevant code are welcome as well.
