Jenkins allows you to set default directories for build records and job configuration.

However it allows you to set them both to the same value.

This is a bad idea and can cause plugins to not work as expected, or other unusual subtle to diagnose issues.

Jenkins should give you a big fat warning if you set the job directly == build directory

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System [Advanced button] and change the value of Build Record Root Directory to ${ITEM_ROOTDIR}

Expected Results

• A FormWarning on the field
• An administrative warning if the configuration is saved. (or the configuration is rejected)

Actual Results

• No warnings or other information that "this is a bad thing"™
