[JENKINS-55578] HTTP redirection on subversion repo causes build loop

 

Jenkins re-triggers builds although there are no changes in the subversion repository. This causes an endless building loop on our build server.

Configuration:

SCM-Polling is enabled (triggering every 5 minutes) and the repo is set to the following HTTP endpoint: http://svn.server

Recent configuration change:

Our subversion repositories switched to HTTPS. HTTP-URLs are redirected to HTTPS (301 Moved Permanently).

Observation:

The subversion polling log states that a new build is required as the workspace does not contain http://svn.server. Jenkins seems to understand the redirection when checking out but does not recognize it before the checkout (when it compares the URLs?). That's why it performs a checkout+build on and on.
