Description Nik Kol CLA 2014-04-23 11:35:02 EDT 
In order to parametrize a build job I tried to pass a repo url as a parameter (I tried both global and local parameters). In both cases Hudson starts from cloning the repository again instead of updating the old one. The issue occurs because the repo url in hgrc is not equal to the parameter name.

Started by user anonymous
[workspace] $ hg showconfig paths.default
ERROR: Workspace reports paths.default as http://********.com/hg/trunk
which looks different than $REPO
so falling back to fresh clone rather than incremental update
$ hg clone --rev default --noupdate $REPO /***/jobs/***-job/workspace

This seems to me mercurial plugin misbehaving. Can you do a quick test. Create a "Execute Shell" builder and in the command box enter "echo $REPO" and run the job and check the console. See if $REPO is substituted correctly.

It works.

Could you please tell me what should I do to get the issue fixed?
