    I initialze $JENKINS_HOME as a git repository with the following .gitignore file.
#global types to ignore
*.swp

#Only get job configs and ignore other data
!jobs/*
jobs/*/*
!jobs/*/config.xml

#Ignore expanded plugins folders because we only want jpi files
#plugins/*/*

#Ignore all plugins
plugins

#Ignore logs
logs

There is a cron job which automatically updates this repository.
@daily /app/builder/dailycommit.sh

The contents of dailycommit.sh is the following.
