[git] configuring Hudson build job for multiple Git repositories

Hi,

I need some help configuring Hudson to build my project after its migration from CVS to Git.

We migrated from one CVS repository to several Git repositories, thanks to statements like "Typically, one Git repository (.git) is created for each logical unit, or grouping of code -- a plugin, a connector, a component, and so on." in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Git/Migrating_to_Git .  I want the code from all of the Git repos to be compiled together by one Hudson job, but I haven't succeeded yet.

Hudson's build config page allows you to specify as many Git repos as you'd like, but I just read in the Hudson Book http://wiki.eclipse.org/The_Hudson_Book that "Providing multiple repositories only makes sense when they are clones or instances off the same repository, since they will be used for merging together the content prior to the build."  That's not what I'm trying to do.  Each repository contains a distinct set of plugins.

In order for my build to work, the files from all repos must be extracted to the same directory in the Hudson workspace.  But Hudson is removing the previous contents of the directory each time it fetches files from a repo.  I end up with only the files from the last repo.

I tried telling Hudson to put each repo's files into a different place, but then javac couldn't find them.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

 -Matt
