It appears that the default update parms have changed with the update I just did to Jenkins. I updated Jenkins to 1.466.2 and all the plugins. The Jenkins CVS plugin is now at 2.7
At the start of the build, the CVS update used to look like this: /Developer_4.2/usr/bin/cvs -q -z3 update -PdC -D "Friday, November 9, 2012 7:26:40 PM UTC" It now looks like this: cvs update -d -P -r HEAD -D 16 Nov 2012 01:56:11 -0600 workspace So the builds are now failing any time there are any locally modified files. The -PdC used to take care of that. -P Prune d directory create C Overwrite locally modified files For all the builds, is there a way I can configure cvs update to used -PdC like before instead of just -d -P like it is now?
