    Description

      Hey,

      I was lost with the following problem: The lshistory checker for my hudson
      projects reported always lots of changes, but at the end of the page, it was
      written "Took 2.5 seconds, No changes". But obviously, there where many changes
      found, which somehow fall through the filter.

      A couple of hours later, I found that the problem was in my load rules.
      If I write the load rules with frontslashes "/" (e.g. src/plugins) like
      everywhere else in the hudson configs, the clearcase plugin will never trigger a
      build (always "no changes").
      If I change the load rules to use backslashes, everything works as designed.

      Tested on OS: Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2008 Server

          Ah - I see the problem. We're using the load rules in a pattern which we then
          compare against each file that shows up in the lshistory - if the path (after
          the workspace/viewname/etc are removed) starts with any of the load rules, the
          file is counted as a change. Otherwise, it's ignored. You're specifying your
          load rules as "src/plugins", which is perfectly valid for a load rule regardless
          of OS, but since you're on Windows, the actual path we see in the lshistory
          output starts with "src\plugins", and that doesn't match "src/plugins" and is
          therefore ignored. I think this shouldn't be hard to fix - should be done in 1.1.
