If set, and Jenkins is set to poll for changes, Jenkins will ignore any revisions committed by users in this list when determining if a build needs to be triggered. This can be used to exclude commits done by the build itself from triggering another build, assuming the build server commits the change with a distinct SCM user.

Using this behaviour will preclude the faster git ls-remote polling mechanism, forcing polling to require a workspace thus sometimes triggering unwanted builds, as if you had selected the Force polling using workspace extension as well.

Each exclusion uses literal pattern matching, and must be separated by a new line.

auto_build_user
The example above illustrates that if only revisions by "auto_build_user" have been committed to the SCM a build will not occur.
