If set, and Jenkins is set to poll for changes, Jenkins will ignore any revisions that are marked with the given revision property (revprop) when determining if a build needs to be triggered. This can be used to exclude commits done by the build itself from triggering another build, assuming the build server commits the change with the correct revprop.

This type of exclusion only works with Subversion 1.5 servers and newer.
