[hudson-dev] Using variables in repo url

[Nikolay Koldunov <nikolay.koldunov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

We use Hudson 2.2.0 as a CI system and now we're facing such a problem:
we wanna use $REPO global variable as a path to a repository that Hudson
should use to build our product. Every time Hudson starts a build job it
tries to compare repository path from hgrc and repository path from the
job. It is unable to detect that the url was not changed ('http://**'
doesn't equal to '$REPO') and it consequently starts copying the
repository again (as our repo is extremely huge this consumes up to 6
hours). How can I make Hudson update the repository copied before
instead of cloning it again?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Nikolay
