This plugin makes it possible to archive the workspace from builds of
one project and reuse them as the SCM source for another project.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Usage

##### Publisher

-   In the configuration for a project whose workspace you want to clone
    and re-use in other projects, select "Archive for Clone Workspace
    SCM" in the list of publishers.
-   If desired, specify the files to include in the archive - by
    default, this will be "\***/**". Use Ant-style globs.
-   Specify the criteria a build needs to meet in order to be archived.
-   Run a build. If it meets the criteria, its workspace will be
    archived, until a new build meeting the criteria has run, at which
    point the old archive will be deleted.

##### SCM

-   In the configuration for a project which you wish to have re-use
    another project's workspace, select "Clone Workspace" from the list
    of possible SCMs.
-   Choose the parent project whose workspace you wish to re-use from
    the drop-down list - if no projects have the Clone Workspace
    Publisher enabled, the drop-down will be empty.
-   Choose the parent build criteria you wish to use.
-   Run a build - assuming the parent project has an archived workspace
    meeting the criteria in question, it'll be expanded and used as the
    workspace for this build.
-   Additionally, the changelog from the parent project build that
    archived workspace came from will be re-used as the changelog for
    this build.
