      I have some builds that are not being triggered by polling. They are being triggered by upstream jobs, but they still need to sync some files to do their thing.

      The builds are displaying the last change that was made in the workspace even though the change was previously synced and built in a much earlier build. The effect is that other builds are still occurring, and no changes have occurred, but the last change is being reported each and every build.

      Rather than showing the last change from a previous build, something like "No Changes" should be displayed for each build when there are no changes to report. Hopefully the screenshots explain the issue better than I do. Screenshot 2 shows build 27 was launched on Oct 9, but it reported a change that was made on May 6 - which would be fine if there had been no previous builds, but previous builds already sync'ed and reported that change (as shown in screenshot 1).

      I'm only calling this a major, because this very much throws off team leads, etc. that are tracking changes in builds. They wonder why old changes are still being reported in their builds, or why their build has changes they didn't want, or why the infrastructure is broken.
