Hi everyone,
I want to know the “git-plugin internal polling algo” and how does it work?
See the 2011 blog post from Kohsuke Kawaguchi that describes why polling is a bad idea
See the git plugin documentation where it describes polling, including:
- Use push notifications instead of polling
- Force polling using workspace
- Polling ignores commits from certain users
- Polling ignores commits in certain paths
- Polling ignores commits with certain messages
There are also a number of bug reports related to polling that can provide more background, including:
The source code can also help you answer your questions, including the git plugin and the git client plugin. Specific implementation details of polling are covered in many of the automated tests of the git plugin.
