[JENKINS-53839] Builds triggered when there is no change (Subversion polling)

We have several product pipeline builds set to run nightly if there are changes on trunk that meet their include/exclude regions criteria. These are individual, not multibranch, pipeline builds.

We are using lightweight checkouts for the Jenkinsfile, which is located in our repository at

svn://url/trunk/Jenkins//Jenkinsfile

so we list it as Jenkins//Jenkinsfile in the project configuration (for Script path).

Before moving to the newest Subversion plugin and lightweight checkouts for the Jenkinsfile, we did not have builds that triggered in error.  I think that, with lightweight checkouts, the include/exclude region rules are being ignored, but I'm not sure.  What I see on the build page is that it thought there were changes, but none of the changes match:

Raw content of original issue

We have several product pipeline builds set to run nightly if there are changes on trunk that meet their include/exclude regions criteria. These are individual, not multibranch, pipeline builds.


We are using lightweight checkouts for the Jenkinsfile, which is located in our repository at



svn://url/trunk/Jenkins/<product>/Jenkinsfile



so we list it as Jenkins/<product>/Jenkinsfile in the project configuration (for Script path).


Before moving to the newest Subversion plugin and lightweight checkouts for the Jenkinsfile, we did not have builds that triggered in error.  I think that, with lightweight checkouts, the include/exclude region rules are being ignored, but I'm not sure.  What I see on the build page is that it thought there were changes, but none of the changes match:
