This would be a very useful feature (I’m suddenly very interested in Bamboo), and I’d be very happy to test it and probably contribute occasional fixes if anyone decides to pursue it.

The idea (as I understood it from the post, since I don't use Bamboo myself) is that after you have configured a job for a project and pointed it to the SCM master/trunk, you can then automatically create derived jobs which share almost every configuration with the master's job but which fetch the source from a specific branch. You can even enable "automatic branch detection" so that these derived jobs are created automatically when Bamboo detects that a new branch has been created. Does anyone knows anything like that for Jenkins? I'd love to be able to use it. Gustavo.
