Job Config History plugin by default saves all changes in Global Build Stats plugin log, which leads to high disk usage

      Hudson 1.364,
      Job Config History 1.4,
      Global Build Stats 0.1-alpha4

      (This report should relate to both "jobconfighistory" and "global-build-stats" components but latter doesn't exist in Jira)

      1. Global Build Stats plugin saves log into global-build-stats.xml in Hudson home directory.
      2. Job Config History plugin saves copy of global-build-stats.xml for each change in it.

      Each copy of global-build-stats.xml takes about 1-3 Mb for my Hudson setup, so after few months of using both of pointed plugins "configuration history" for global-build-stats.xml took about 7 Gb of space.

      Solution for this issue is to add "global-build-stats" into "system configuration exclude file pattern" in Job Config History configuration (http://HUDSON/configure).

      My suggestion is to do one of:
      1. Describe this issue on Global Build Stats/Job Config History plugins wiki.
      2. Store log for Global Build Stats not in .xml file.

      Thanks
