Git Sparse Checkout and notifyCommit

[Andrew Smith]

Hi

I'm using Git Sparse Checkout (through the jenkins git plugin) to allow me to checkout only 1 directory from a git repo.

I am also using /git/notifyCommit to notify Jenkins of git changes and allow automatic rebuilds when they occur.

My problem is that I have repo1:

repo1
.
..

dir_a/

dir_b/

And jenkins project a building only dir_a, project b building only dir_b (thought sparse checkout).

But If I make changes to dir_b, and send a notifyCommit to jenkins my Git Polling Log for project a says "Changes found" and project a is rebuilt (even though none of the files have changed).

Is there a way to force the git "has it changed" mechanism to consider the git sparse checkout option?

Thanks

To answer my own question:

The poll does not care about your sparse checkout settings. But you can add an additional git option to achieve this:

Polling ignores commits in certain paths
