We have an SCM-controlled project that polls a repo every several minutes. Overall the workflow is great but occasionally I need to push the new changes to the server's repository without triggering a build in Jenkins (for various reasons: long builds, minor changes, concurrent commits etc).
I have already set up a quiet period, and sometimes I just start and stop the build (which is awkward), so the Jenkins pulls the changes and does not trigger the build later.
So, is there a plugin of any sort that allows either:
- Manually cancel the future build (before it's triggered by SCM poller)
- Manually update the project's SCM repo without triggering a build?
